Has form figures of 11211211 at about 2m over fences, most recently making all for a cosy win in the Game Spirit at Newbury but he doesn't need to lead; now faces the stiffest assignment of his career but his solid and progressive profile counts for a lot; could go well.

Made giant strides last season at about 2m (various ground) and continued the good work returned to this trip when digging deep to win a rock-solid handicap at Doncaster two weeks ago (good); flattered to get within 4l of Shishkin in a Grade 1 at Aintree last season but he no doubt belongs in this company; likeable.

Feasibly treated judged on last season's progressive form and, having unseated early on his reappearance in October, he may have needed the run when pulled up at Aintree in December; however, it's hard to be confident on the back of that performance.

Below par at Cheltenham on final run last term and unseated early at Wetherby on reappearance in October; however, he's in calculations on last season's best efforts (2m-2m4f, good-soft), including a win here in November and a good third in a competitive handicap at Newbury in March.

Runner-up in October on his first three starts for this yard (2m/2m1f, good/soft) and was in the same position when unseating two out at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Day; might not be far away but no surprise if he again finds one or more to be too good.

Very well handicapped on some of last year's good-ground form and did well to finish fifth of 16 in hot Grade 3 at Aintree (2m, good to soft) this month, given his jumping was rather sketchy; major player here if more fluent over the fences this time.

Five of his six wins have come at Wetherby, most recently a small-field novice handicap chase in November off this mark; it hasn't been smooth sailing since but he returns to hurdles off a competitive mark and in a race lacking depth; not discounted.

Won at favourite course Wetherby (1m7f, good to soft; RPR 143) in November on his second chase start; interesting on that form but has a mixed record in three runs since and was sixth of seven in a Doncaster handicap last time, behind a smart rival; back in a novice event but others preferred.

Won at favourite course Wetherby (1m7f, good to soft) in November on second chase start and he's capable of running well elsewhere; gave another good account when third of five at Wetherby 13 days ago and it's possible he has more to offer over fences, but such improvement is needed off current mark.
