Winless last term but he was in front and looked in control when unseated rider 3 out in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, good) in April. Must enter calculations on his return.

Much improved sent chasing when getting off the mark in 4-runner handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good to soft) in June. Should have more to offer over this longer trip. Big shout.

Yet to show any form of note for his current yard, eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm, 500/1) 16 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Built on his reappearance after an absence when fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good to firm, 9/1) 26 days ago. Did too much too soon there so needs considering off a 2 lb lower mark.

Scored over fences at Fakenham in May but came in a remote third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good, 11/2) 139 days ago. Not discounted back over fences though.

YORGUNNABEPLUCKY proved a different model sent chasing when scoring at Ffos Las in early summer and can make light of a 2 lb rise here. Invictus Allen could emerge as the main danger off a slipping mark, although the returning Tedwin Hills is also weighted to have a say and Annie Nail enters calculations too back in this sphere.
