Unraced beyond 3m2f but should stay further than that; 15l winner of a major 3m handicap at Kempton last February but he's found his revised mark a bit too tough since (close second to Herakles Westwood at Cheltenham on New Year's Day) and is still 10lb higher today; others are a bit more persuasive.

Always wears a tongue-tie; on a sharp upward curve when taking this 12 months ago by some 15l (on good to soft); makes his defence off an 11lb higher mark but on the back of a return to form at Cheltenham (in cheekpieces; wore a visor in this last year); course form here always ticks a big box and can run well again.

Second-season chaser whose form in major handicaps features an impressive win at Kempton (3m, good to soft) last February and respectable sixth at Newbury (3m2f) latest start; major player at this level.

Disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival but progressive (form figures 1121) otherwise over fences and impressive in a major handicap at Kempton (3m, good to soft) the time before; may still have more to offer and enters calculations with hurdles reappearance under his belt.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Sam Thomas

Relished the switch to fences early this year, winning three of his first four chase starts; needs to transfer his chasing improvement back to hurdles (0-7 in this sphere) but he has a 5lb lower mark in this discipline and it will be no surprise if he has a big say on his reappearance.
