Negotiated these fences safely in the 2m5f Topham one year ago, albeit fading into 12th; a strong-staying display to win at Cheltenham (near 3m4f, soft; 5lb higher today) in November hints at untapped potential over long distances.

Fit from a good run on the Flat when making it 4-11 over fences in valuable 3m4f Cheltenham handicap (soft) in November; should remain competitive off 5lb higher.

10st 5lb

J: Kielan Woods

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

Went close five weeks ago in a 2m Flat race; seen far more often over jumps and he's 3-10 as a chaser, with a soft-ground Cheltenham second on New Year's Day being one of his best efforts last season but that was over 2m4f; Newcastle third last November showed he stays 2m7f but there's far more for him to prove at this trip.

All four runs under Flat rules have been on AW, good second over 2m on handicap debut last time; that was in February and his only run since was a heavy defeat in valuable handicap hurdle in April; six jumps wins and probably more interesting when he's back in that sphere, but market may guide.
