Undefeated in four small-field 3m open points (good/good to firm), the successes around the sharp left-handers at Higham and Fakenham particularly relevant in today's context; can lead but needn't, and won't want for experience of regulation fences (24 chase starts); player.

Better over fences than hurdles so encouraging to see him win over the smaller obstacles last month before chasing home a hot Bowen-trained favourite over C&D two weeks ago; should go well despite the 3lb rise.

Better known for his chasing exploits so encouraging to see him win a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Southwell a month ago (good to soft; good ground is ideal), albeit off a much lower mark; runs off last winning chase rating which was only a year ago.

Won a handicap chase on Aintree's Mildmay course last summer for this yard and a point this February, again on his favoured good ground; struggles when it's softer and he took a heavy fall at The Chair in the Foxhunters' at Aintree last month; has never been as effective over hurdles.
