Most of five chase wins have come on decent ground, including last time when taking 3m Ludlow handicap (just 2 finishers) having been dropped in grade following some good runs in better-class handicaps; seems suited by going right-handed; respected.

Showed he stays 3m when only just missing out at Kempton in January (good) where he would probably have won but for fluffing the last fence; another good effort at Ascot (3m) since, when coming from a long way off the pace to take third; strong contender off his competitive mark.

Record of 2-3 over 2m5f at Ascot, all in the same November race; showed he stays 3m, at least under sharp conditions, at Kempton (good) most recently; this is a stiffer test at the trip.

Seemed to need his sole run this season when back from lengthy layoff and bidding to win a 2m5f contest at Ascot for a third time; useful on his day but has stamina to prove, having failed to get home (albeit on soft ground) over C&D in sole 3m attempt.

Acts on any ground; two from two at Ascot, namely comfortable wins in this race in 2022 and 2023; respected assuming he's in top form on first start since scoring at Uttoxeter 18 months ago.
