Second at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival and he started last season with two wins, including a gritty success in the Becher at Aintree (3m2f); struggled in the Grand National last month but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and looks interesting on this drop back in trip and class; last success was on soft but most of his wins have been on good ground.

Second at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival and started this season with two wins, notably by a short head from Mr Vango in the 3m2f Becher over these fences (wore cheekpieces second time); warmed up for this over hurdles after three months off; the Becher performance was doughty stuff but his only go at a marathon trip was last year's National in which he finished a remote tenth, always behind.

Useful chaser who is 2-2 this season, latest success in notable race at Aintree; however, lower mark over hurdles reflects his level in this sphere and main target is again the Grand National next month.

Ridden by Beau Morgan since 2022; his tenth in the Grand National was a remote one, always behind, and clearly his best effort last term was first time out; back to form with a win at Sandown on reappearance this time round, narrowly in a four-runner race, but he was also a fine second at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival (3m1f, heavy) to show big-race aptitude.

Not particularly solid on his form (hurdles/fences) last term but is fairly useful on his day and could do well in veterans' chases this season; returns to calmer waters after never figuring in the Grand National.
