Increasingly temperamental nowadays and while he put in a good shift when second under Harry Cobden here (3¼m, soft) 3 weeks ago, the subsequent wind op/first-time visor will need to have a positive effect if he's to go one better.

Built on encouraging hurdles return when winning Becher Chase at Aintree off a 3 lb higher mark last season. However, he has failed to complete last 4 starts (pulled up on each occasion) and needs to bounce back in a major way.

Been a cracking servant over the years and ended a long losing when landing a veterans' event at Huntingdon on return in November. Just touched off at Market Rasen (27.6f, good to soft) since and will be a threat if able to perform to a similar level back from a break here.

Remains winless following 11 starts over fences but produced one of his best efforts in this sphere when second to Anglers Crag at Market Rasen (23.8f, good to soft) in Januay. Not discounted with blinkers refitted here, for all that his 2 subsequent efforts have not been so good.

All 3 career victories gained at Exeter and he performed with credit when second from 5 lb out of the weights in a competitive veterans' contest at that course last time. Should make his presence felt.

Not the force of old but was a decent second back from a break in similar event at Doncaster before Christmas. Similar form back in open company when fourth at Wincanton in February and couldn't rule out.

9/4
Low-mileage 10-y-o put it all together when opening his account in a handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f, heavy) back from a 10-month absence in February. Just failed under a penalty at Exeter recently and while he needs more up in class off his new mark, another bold show could be on the way.

It's best to overlook CERTAINLY RED's effort in the Grimthorpe at Doncaster where he was one of eight that failed to complete in that 10-runner contest. He shaped as though ready to strike when hitting the crossbar at Sandown on his penultimate start and the drying ground here will be a big help. The lightly-raced Supervisor has resumed in good order this season and he is feared most ahead of Crosspark, Fidux and Run To Milan.
