Progressive chaser who ran second at Uttoxeter last time under a big weight; 8lb lower for this return to hurdling (3-10) and likely to make his presence felt.

Very progressive 7yo who won comfortably by over 6l at Bangor (2m, good to soft) six weeks ago and is now 4-6 over fences; usually races prominently but does not have to lead; must be considered.

Form & Verdict

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner in Britain and smart when at his best; however, Gordon Elliott couldn't get a win out of him in six attempts and he was tailed off for the most part; now with Donald McCain and has to turn things around.

Without a win in five years and he's 0-17 as a chaser; unless some drama unfolds he faces an impossible task from so far out of the weights.

Not disgraced on either start from out of the weights this summer (2lb wrong again tonight) but much more is needed again if a five-year win drought is to come to an end.

Gave fairly good account when fifth here (2m5f, good to soft) last month and is effectively 4lb lower today but has generally been very disappointing in recent years, and his latest win was in 2019.

Form & Verdict

Has gone 4-4 in handicap chases at about this distance and he breezed clear to win as he liked last time at Stratford; hiked up 10lb for that but they've found another uncompetitive race.

Dual hurdle winner but already a better chaser having gone 3-3 in handicaps at about this trip and wasn't unduly troubled in any of them; looks to have got off lightly with just a 5lb rise for the latest here.

Easily beat Gower Prince in match race on chasing debut in May and quickened clear on run-in to follow up at Worcester (2m, good) last month; latest 4lb rise is arguably lenient and he has very strong claims.
