Soundly beaten when just 17-2 at last year's Festival (2m4f); finally opened his chase account in November, before staying-on fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) where he was badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; 13l win at Sandown (3m, soft; made most) on latest outing confirmed he's got his act together, which earned a 7lb rise but he needs respect.

Opened his chase account on reappearance, then did well to finish fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) having badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; lost chance with bad mistake four out when beaten favourite at Ascot since; remains of interest, assuming he puts in an error-free round.

Patchy profile over fences (1-9) but easily dominated a small-field non-handicap at Huntingdon last month; was one of the big market movers in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury but lost all chance when behind early after a standing start; didn't do at all badly to finish fifth and he could still be open to improvement; might be better handicapped than some in here.

Form has been patchy since March; easily justified favouritism in small field at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) most recently, opening his chase account at the eighth attempt, but may struggle to follow up in this much deeper race and better grade.

Has the best hurdles form in this field and his good efforts (twice runner-up) over fences last season were even better; however, he was below form in first-time cheekpieces on penultimate outing and failed to complete on starts either side, the latest 11 days ago; that dents his case today (in returning cheekpieces) but he is the standout on form.
