Three-time handicap chase winner in 2021/22. However, form has gone the wrong way on his last 3 starts, losing touch back straight when well beaten fifth of 7 at Market Rasen on latest start.

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019 but in the frame on 4 of his 6 starts last season, third of 5 in handicap here (23.8f) on final occasion. Can give his running again.

5/2
Useful hurdler in 2020/21 but went the wrong way over fences having made a winning start. Had a wind op and back on track reverted to hurdles last 2 runs. Step up in trip could suit back chasing.

Back to form of late, landing 19.4f handicap chase at Chepstow in April before runner-up at Newton Abbot (21f) 12 days ago. Bad mistake cost him again last time, but can play a part in current mood.

Cashed in on a falling mark in 7-runner handicap at Warwick (3m) in April. That looks to be a solid piece form and he remains on a workable mark despite a 5 lb rise for that success. Can follow up.

THE LATE LEGEND took advantage of a reduced mark when getting back to winning ways at Warwick last month, ridden more prominently and still finding when left clear at the last. The 9-y-o has gone back up 5 lb but he has won off a higher mark in the past and can score again. Oxwich Bay is going through a good spell at present so is feared most, ahead of Vivas who has also been holding his form well of late.
