Won four times over fences last spring/summer but was beaten 25l at Lingfield (2m, good) when last seen in November; has had wind surgery since and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; must hold claims from good yard if ready to roll.

Mark took a hit for winning four of his first five races over fences (all handicaps) and was beaten 13l and 21l in his last two with cheekpieces fitted; those aids are now removed and he's only 2lb higher than for his last win, so hard to dismiss.

4-6 since switched to fences (2m-2m2f, all on good) this season (three over C&D); showed no improvement for the application of first-time cheekpieces (retained) when sixth of nine finishers over C&D (good) last month and it may well be that the handicapper has caught up with him.

4-5 since switched to fences (2m-2m2f, all on good) this season, the sole blip coming at Market Rasen in July when clearly not running his race; bounced straight back when making all over C&D last month and another bold bid looks on the cards off 3lb higher; cheekpieces are added.

Very progressive 5yo who started off for Ben Pauling with three handicap chase wins (two over C&D) in the spring; dropped out as though something was amiss on latest outing but will be a danger to all if back on song.
