11st 1lb

J: Ned Fox

T: Clive Boultbee-Brooks

Only defeat in his last four races came in a good-quality 3m4f handicap at Windsor; jumped well and stayed on best at Chepstow last time (2m7f, soft) where the front two pulled well clear; raised 7lb but Ned Fox takes away 3lb out of that; respected.

J: Richard Patrick

T: Clive Boultbee-Brooks

Back-to-back wins at Wetherby (3m, soft) and Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) before finding a Class 3 beyond him at Windsor (3m4f), though didn't run at all badly; considered back at this level.

Second-season chaser whose December double was initiated by a C&D win (soft); made the frame in marathon event at Windsor when bidding for hat-trick; remains in form and there's still the possibility of further improvement; not ruled out.

3-6 over fences following wins at Wetherby (3m, soft) and Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) on last two starts; galloped on relentlessly for each of those recent wins and the step up in trip may suit this progressive 7yo.

Has been running well in 3m chases all year, winning twice, and got a patient ride when forging away on the flat at Wetherby (soft) this month; raised 5lb but he's relatively unexposed and can do better yet.
