Produced career best in first-time blinkers (retained) to win the competitive Sky Bet Handicap Chase at Doncaster (3m, good) in January; also effective on soft/heavy; has something to find if today's rivals are at their best but it's a big plus that he arrives in top form and he's respected. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |

Inconsistent and comes with risks attached having been pulled up in the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby last month; however, prior to that he was a good second at Bangor behind next-time-out Becher winner Snow Leopardess and is in calculations on that form; may get a boost from first-time blinkers. |

Front-runner; won at Newbury in January (second run since wind surgery) and excellent second of 16 in valuable C&D handicap ten days later, both under 10lb claimer Daire McConville; back up a further 4lb and has not sustained his form in recent campaigns but a leading player if he does so today. |

Patchy profile over the last 12 months and his jumping lacked fluency when well beaten in third at Doncaster last month; however, the returning cheekpieces could help his jumping and he's dropped to a mark 15lb lower than when a fair fifth in this race last year; capable of going well. |

11st 12lb |
Stayed on strongly for close second in the Becher over 3m2f at Aintree in December and this trip could be within range; versatile ground-wise; excellent second when badly in at the weights in Kelso Listed chase last month but the handicapper has reacted with a 9lb rise, which makes things tough. |

5th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 1 |

Went very close in the Becher at Aintree (3m2f, soft) in December and didn't run badly when fourth at Doncaster (3m, good) latest; however, he was a long way behind the winner Windsor Avenue and has a tough task here. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |

Pulled up in the Welsh National last time before stamina may have been an issue; hard to be confident on the back of that but he'd previously run a cracker when going close in the Becher at Aintree (3m2f, soft) and shouldn't be written off this afternoon; has won on good ground. |

17th Mar 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Gifted the Charlie Hall at Wetherby in October and his return to 3m was unconvincing last time; has some useful form at about 2m4f here (soft/good to soft), notably second in the Grade 1 novice chase on this card last year and fourth in the Racing Post Gold Cup two starts ago; should go well. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |

Fortunate winner of the Charlie Hall at Wetherby in October, gifted the race when Shan Blue fell, but that was still a very positive performance on his first crack at 3m and he again ran well when fourth in a 2m4f handicap at Cheltenham last month; his jumping lacked fluency last time but he might be more in his comfort zone today back up in trip; solid claims. |

11st 10lb |
No longer the force of old but his fourth off 7lb higher at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft; good ground also suits) in November was a good effort, and this race is much easier than the major handicaps he contested on his last two appearances; dangerous to ignore. |
9/2 |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and there were encouraging signs when he was fourth to stablemate at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) in November; may appreciate going back left-handed having jumped that way at Ascot latest, but he's back to having something to prove having been pulled up there. |

18th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Underwent wind surgery after last season never went to plan and there were signs of a return to form when fourth at Newbury (good to soft) as he would have been closer without a late mistake; that 2m6f was a new trip for him so stamina is by no means copper-bottomed, but his mark is a good one. |

3rd Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |

His mark continues to fall and it's possible today's drop into an easier grade will prompt a revival; however, he's struggled on his four starts this season and arrives with plenty to prove; no headgear today. |

Having had wind surgery he reappeared with a career best to win the ultra-competitive Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in November; today's 8lb higher mark may not stop him if reproducing that form but he's inconsistent and was pulled up at Wetherby on Boxing Day; hard to know what to expect. |

Having had wind surgery he reappeared with a career best to win the ultra-competitive Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) last month; has an inconsistent profile but if he's in the same fine form as last time a 10lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow up; has also won on soft. |

Well-beaten fifth behind Cloudy Glen in the Ladbrokes Trophy in November but that was still a respectable first run of the season; unseated at first fence at Ludlow subsequently; looks to be on a good mark based on last season's form, the highlight being his second in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot, and he could have a part to play; effective on good to soft, unraced on good. |

10th Jan 2022 Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
There's a possibility he'd be better off going left-handed but a good case can be made today based on last season's form, the highlight being his second in a Grade 2 novice (3m, soft), and he reappeared with a respectable fifth in the Ladbrokes Trophy in November; respected in this easier race. |

10st 10lb |
Won handicaps on first two chase starts last autumn (2m6f/3m, good to soft/soft) and campaign concluded with 4l second to Remastered in Grade 2 novice at Ascot (3m, soft), which deserves extra credit as he made mistakes and often went to the left over his fences; this lightly raced 7yo has potential off current mark if jumping with greater fluency now back left-handed. |

Continues to slide down the weights and he's now 19lb lower than when a 12l fourth under top weight in this two years ago; however, he's in a sorry run of form right now and the first-time blinkers will need to do something for him. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |

Following a second wind operation he took a step back in the right direction when midfield in a competitive 2m4f handicap at Cheltenham on New Year's Day; well treated on old form and it's possible he'll build on that last run, but he certainly needs to and he also has to prove his stamina. |

Won on reappearance at Chepstow (2m7f, good) in October and, after being pulled up three times in a row, he returned to form with a good second at Carlisle (3m, good) last Sunday; his inconsistency is a concern but he's a major player if backing up that latest performance. |

Won the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in November and another good run when third there (2m4f, good to soft) last time; hard to rule out given this season's fine form but Cheltenham brings out the best in him and he's unproven at today's longer distance. |

Grade 2 winner here over hurdles and in a novice chase; found that an Irish raider was a massive blot on the handicap in major 2m4f race here last December but beat the other 15 and is 1lb lower today; that was the only bright spot in his three runs last term but he made a satisfactory reappearance three weeks ago and enters each-way calculations. |

Veteran who retains plenty of ability and bagged Listed honours at Kelso (2m7f) two starts ago; stiff task in Aintree Grade 1 latest; should find things slightly easier back down in class but whether this 11yo can defy a 6lb penalty in this grade is another matter. |
