Ex-French 7yo who opened his British account at Kempton (3m, good; off 3lb lower) last month, proving suited by the return to handicap level (raced in hunter chases otherwise for current yard); respected in this similar event.

Won two handicap chases last autumn (3m, good) and added three hunter chase wins this spring (3m1f/4m, soft); unseated at Canal Turn in the Foxhunters' over C&D in April; it's possible a longer distance is preferable but he may be versatile trip-wise and his yard won this last year; one to consider.

Productive 2023-24 in handicap and hunter chases (3m-3m1f; good-soft), but longstanding plan to land the Aintree Foxhunters' was scuppered at the Canal Turn; spared a hard race, at least, and the presence of Raz De Maree and Ucello II in the pedigree offers some hope for marathon trips.

Lightly raced 7yo who came on a bundle for his first run in 11 months to win with a bit in hand over this far on good ground at Hereford three months ago; has never raced on soft so subsequent three-month break might be put down to him waiting for his ground and, although 12lb higher for this, he may well have more to offer (2-4 over fences).
