Reliable sort elsewhere (unraced here, despite his stable) with best efforts at about 2m, though he was also sixth in last season's 2m2f Cesarewitch; never better than when winning at Ripon 13 days ago, for which 3lb penalty takes him to a career-high mark but 7lb claimer is recruited and they may well be on the premises. |

Won twice for Tom Dascombe last season, including a three-runner renewal of this race; had the benefit of a previous run on that occasion and this perhaps not the time to catch him, especially off his career-high mark. |

High-class handicap hurdler; carried a 12lb penalty to success in a competitive handicap hurdle at Galway in July and followed up the following month in a valuable Flat handicap at York; not seen since disappointing on heavy ground in the Naas November Handicap; up 10lb for that Galway win and will need a career-best but very much respected. |

Revived by first-time cheekpieces when prevailing in a tight finish at Ripon (2m, good) in August for fourth career success; not so clever since then, albeit he was 125-1 in the Cesarewitch and finishing 11th wasn't a bad run. |

Never better than when second to Falcon Eight in this race last year (good to soft) on reappearance; has 2lb lower mark this time and although he was last of six on AW four weeks ago, he wasn't beaten far; respected. |

Smart Flat form in staying events, the last twice in Group 2s won by Stradivarius; his five hurdling defeats have been well spread out but he ran well to be fifth in a competitive handicap at Aintree recently (3m, good); no question that he sets the standard and soft ground is not a bother to him. |

Won Grade 1 Tolworth Novices' Hurdle (2m, heavy) last January and returned to form with fair fourth in Ascot handicap (1m7f, good to soft) in December, before building on that to win Lingfield handicap (2m, heavy); the more testing the ground the better and he could play another leading role up 7lb. |

21st Jan 2022 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Looked a budding star when bolting up in last season's Grade 1 Tolworth (heavy) but he rocketed back down to earth when nowhere in the Supreme at Cheltenham and his comeback run was no more encouraging; however, it was good to see him show a lot more at Ascot just before Christmas (travelled well on good to soft) and this deeper surface should be right up his street; probably retains untapped potential; big player. |

Ran poorly on penultimate start; back to some form when front-running third to two of today's rivals in the Jump Jockeys Derby over C&D last time but it's hard to ignore that he has not won on Flat since 2018. |
