Seemed a non-stayer over 3m on penultimate start; readily justified favouritism at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) latest, taking chase record to 3-6 and overall strike-rate to 9-25; largely progressive and a useful 3lb is claimed with Callum Pritchard back on board; one to consider.

Out of the money over 3m at Ascot last time, seeming a non-stayer; solid record otherwise since switched to fences, winning twice and posting two sound efforts; may have more to offer back down in trip; not ruled out.

Overall strike-rate is 8-23; solid set of form figures (1213) since switch to fences, keeping on for creditable effort at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) most recently; should be thereabouts provided he stays this new trip.

Not the biggest but jumps well and took his form figures over fences to 121 when good value for his narrow winning margin at Wetherby last month (2m3f, soft); in deeper here and off a 5lb higher mark, but he's a likeable type who also had a good strike-rate over hurdles.

Won chase debut at Exeter (2m3f, soft) in January and beaten just a neck at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft) in February when the drop back in trip was a negative; reappears with his trainer among the winners and may well have more to offer over fences.
