Record of 2-4 since switched to hunter chases in January and he ran well to finish six of 24 in the Foxhunters' at Aintree (2m5f) last month; on career-high mark back in a handicap but he hasn't been far off his best this year and he has won over 3m1f in the past; respected.

Won on his first hunter chase start at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and bounced back from a heavy defeat behind Golden Son at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) to win at Leicester (2m, good to soft) last month; however, he needs a clear career best if he's to win this.

Made a bright start to hunter chases when beating Stattler (subsequent winner) at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and, although well beaten at Taunton (2m7f) when trying to match strides with Golden Son last month, he likely continues in form; leading contender dropped back to 2m for the first time, with fewer questions to answer than most.

Returned to form and snapped a losing sequence on his hunter chase debut at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month, when clear with a very talented runner-up; he can have another big say if backing up that latest performance.

2-17 over fences but his most recent success was just over two years ago; began this campaign off well enough with three consecutive fourths before his form slumped late late last year, and now switches to hunter chases with a bit to prove.
