Justified favouritism in the 2025 Stayers' Veterans' Chase Final at Sandown (good) most recently, taking record over 3m to 2-3; in top form aged 11 and still unexposed at this distance.

Won going away at Warwick (3m, good to soft; career-best performance) in a leg of this series last time, taking chase record to 6-24 and setting him up perfectly for a crack at this final; remains unexposed at this distance; major claims.

0-9 over hurdles but a five-time chase winner; fell over the National fences at Aintree on recent return but had a fine campaign last season including two wins (2m3f/2m5f) on slow ground; still looks on a workable mark but his only attempt at 3m was a long time ago and he weakened in that race.

10yo who was below par in February when last seen but enjoyed a fine campaign otherwise, posting two wins (2m5f/2m3f, soft/good to soft) before two second placings behind well handicapped winners (2m5f, good/good to soft); goes well fresh and could have a part to play on reappearance.
