Form has gone rather awry in last three outings but he has been progressive otherwise, culminating in 2m4f handicap wins at Cheltenham and Newbury in the autumn; may rebound and run a good race.

Largely progressive but came up short off top weight in the Lanzarote when bidding for a handicap hat-trick and needs to prove current mark isn't beyond him; unseated rider three out in 3m Grade 2 last time.

Won big-field handicaps at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) and Newbury (2m4f, soft) in the autumn; having gone up the weights he was merely mid-division at Kempton (2m5f, good) last month and is untested at today's trip, but this lightly raced 6yo may still have more to offer and is not discounted.

Comfortably the best in competitive 2m4f events at Cheltenham (good to soft) and Newbury (soft) the last twice, taking record in completed starts since handicapping to 2-2 and strike-rate over hurdles to 4-7; another big rise in the weights reflects his excellent progress; respected.

Faller on reappearance but got round and scored in clearcut style at Cheltenahm (2m4f, good to soft) later in October, taking hurdles record to 3-6 and overall strike-rate to 4-9; fourth to high-class rival in sole C&D attempt; open to further progress and warrants respect.
