1-6 over fences, the success at Aintree (2m4f) on seasonal debut; seemed a non-stayer in the Welsh National before eventually falling, then ran below form at Cheltenham (2m4f); return to this venue may have a positive effect but he ideally needs assistance from the weather, having gained all wins on soft ground.

Made much of the running when winning in dominant style at Aintree (2m4f, soft) in December; beaten when falling late on in the Welsh National three weeks later, lack of stamina a possible factor; back to a more suitable trip here but now off a career-high mark and others appeal more.

January's win over hurdles came over nearly 3m1f on soft; first three chase starts (last autumn) did not set the world alight but he returned to this sphere with a seriously dominant performance at Aintree (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago, making most; well treated with just a 4lb penalty (due to go up another 4lb) and should stay beyond 3m1f; can't be comfortably ruled out.

Failed to threaten last autumn on his three chase starts but his final effort here (3m1f, good) wasn't without promise behind a very well-handicapped winner; won off this mark over hurdles (3m, soft) in January; not ruled out.
