Tends to peak during the summer and clear signs of a revival the last twice, latterly hitting the crossbar at Market Rasen (3m, good) off this mark, which is 8 lb lower than for his latest success.

11/1
Narrow winner of a 3-runner Wetherby novice in March 2020, his sole success from 10 starts in this sphere. Runner-up at Southwell last month following a wind op, but others preferred all the same.

One-time fairly useful hurdler and winner of Leicester handicap chase in February 2019. Confined to just 5 subsequent appearances, though, failing to trouble the judge on each occasion.

Decisive winner of 2m selling handicap hurdle in first-time cheekpieces at Fakenham on final start for Gary Moore. However, put in his place back chasing on debut for new yard last month.

AW bumper winner in February placed twice from 5 starts over hurdles. Positive start in this sphere when runner-up at Ludlow (2½m, good to soft) and should make a bold bid to go one better here.

Ended time for Philip Hobbs on a disappointing note and while he has twice finished second from 5 starts over fences for this yard, his latest effort lacked spark (since undergone a second wind op).

Not one to set your watch by, but was on good behaviour when opening chase account over C&D (good to soft) last month, proving ½-length too good for Mr Mafia. Shade more needed having gone up 4 lb.

Veteran who put a string of inauspicious efforts behind him when overhauled by Sandy Boy in the closing stages over C&D last time. All being well, he should give another good account.

Now 10 lb lower than for his latest success at Chepstow in January 2020, but his efforts since the turn of the year have been underwhelming, to put it mildly.

10/3
Winner of 2 of his 4 starts since undergoing wind surgery, including at Stratford on penultimate start. Lost little caste in defeat off this mark at Bangor (3m, heavy) since and he's high on the list.

AS YOU LIKE left the distinct impression that his turn is again near when runner-up at Market Rasen and he could be the answer to this competitive handicap. The mare Docte Dina is feared on the back of an encouraging chase debut last month, but Furius de Ciergues is second choice having proved that he remains on a fair mark when finding just one too good at Bangor.
