Finished 18l behind Lulamba in the Arkle but may fare better in this rematch, with the return to further a likely plus; readily bagged Grade 2 honours at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) the time before, enhancing his good strike-rate when racing beyond 2m.

J: Tom Cannon

T: Lucy Wadham

Bled from nose when well held behind Steel Ally at Ascot just before Christmas but otherwise he's made a fine start to his chasing career, winning a handicap at Sandown (1m7f, soft) and Grade 2 novice at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) on last two starts; needs a chunk of improvement to trouble the principals but he's straightforward, tactically versatile and a sound jumper.

Bled from the nose at Ascot just before Christmas but otherwise he's made a fine start to his chasing career, winning handicap at Sandown (1m7f, soft) three weeks ago in clearcut style; just as effective at 2m4f and sets the standard for the others to aim at.

J: Tom Cannon

T: Lucy Wadham

Unraced on heavy ground; novice chaser whose Grade 2 effort last time is perhaps best forgiven (bled from nose); had wind surgery (his second) since; won well at Kempton (2m2f, good) on penultimate start and may still have further progress in him; respected handicap debutant.

T: Lucy Wadham

Three-time novice hurdle winner (good/good to soft; including at 2m5f here) who was a commanding winner at Kempton (2m2f, good) on his second chase start; runner-up in a bumper on soft; this is a tougher race but he's unexposed over fences and there can be optimism he'll continue to progress.
