Has been a shade disappointing since a win three runs back. Filled a minor placing in a steeplechase (3280m) at this track two starts ago then finishing 31 lengths adrift in fifth in a steeplechase (3900m) at Wetherby last time.

Edging towards a win based on better performances at his last couple of outings, the most recent a second in a steeplechase (3200m) at Taunton. Well placed to go one better.

Was unplaced two back in a maiden hurdle (3870m) at Catterick. Atoned for that run last time to finish third in a steeplechase (3800m) at Catterick, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely to figure in the outcome.

Veteran galloper who has been thereabouts before winning last time over this trip in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newcastle. Has a good record at the distance and should take beating again.

Did fairly well when he finished third in a steeplechase (4240m) at Fakenham two runs back. Improved sharply to score by half a length in a steeplechase (3860m) at this track at the latest outing. Can add to the recent impressive results.

Found the frame two back in a steeplechase (3860m) at this track then could only manage fifth last time in a steeplechase (3100m) at Catterick, beaten 15 lengths. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.

Finished fifth and never threatened last start in a steeplechase (4190m) at Hereford when beaten 26 lengths. Good last time but needs to take another step.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (3850m) at Catterick. Atoned for that run last time to finish third in a steeplechase (3860m) at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. In the mix again.

Finished seventh two runs ago in a steeplechase (4100m) at Doncaster. Turned things around last time when he grabbed second in a steeplechase (4100m) at Doncaster. Certainly worth including.
