Novice campaign last season went well, notably over the conventional fences here where he registered three handicap wins (2m/2m4f) and was second at this meeting (3m1f); resumed progress with a win at Haydock (3m1f) this January but badly hampered at the Cheltenham Festival; this trip is a big step into the unknown but he needs a second look.

Progressive novice last season, winning three handicaps at Aintree (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) and posting a good third here (2m4f, soft); won at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) in January when back up in trip and he's unexposed over staying distances; up 3lb for that neck victory; could go well.

Three wins at Aintree (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) last season and second there (3m1f, good) in April; current mark shouldn't be beyond him if he's at his best but that hasn't been the case on his two outings this term.

J: Sean Houlihan

T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

Three wins at Aintree (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) towards end of last year and good third over this C&D (soft) in January; reluctant to line up when fifth of seven on reappearance at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in October and he needs to be better than ever to win today, but this second-season chaser could improve for that last run and is not ruled out each-way.

Won three times here (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year and returned to Aintree with 5l second of 12 at the Grand National meeting in April (3m1f, good; seemed fine at the trip); this second-season chaser is open to further improvement and is one to consider.
