Back to form after a second wind op, posting career-best RPRs when scoring at Chepstow in February and when runner-up at Hereford the following month (both at 2m); has his best form over shorter but shapes as though this trip should suit and he commands respect on that recent form.

Last year's winner on good ground; bounced back to form after wind surgery to beat four rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) two weeks ago, making virtually all; back up 5lb but has leading claims again.

Made excellent progress over fences last season, winning three times (1m7f-2m, good-heavy), but ended that campaign with a poor run and has not been at his best this term (three starts); needs last month's wind op to have made a difference.

Made excellent progress over fences last season, winning three times (1m7f-2m), but ended that campaign with a poor C&D run and failed to build on a satisfactory reappearance when well beaten four weeks ago; now has a point to prove.

Unproven at the trip and a return to form is required, but he may have needed his reappearance run four weeks ago; won twice in a row early this year (1m7f/2m, soft/good) and not ruled out with yard in excellent form.
