Won this race in 2021 and has since added three Grade 2s; now a 13yo but he's not run at all badly in two Aintree handicaps following a long absence and he's not without hope.

Chasing aspirations soon aborted after his Kempton fall; the last of his five wins over hurdles was in this race 12 months ago and he's only 2lb higher now; there are some doubts over his current wellbeing but he can't be dismissed; tries cheekpieces.

Mixes chasing with hurdling and consistent in the main; solid enough efforts in this discipline the last twice and Rian Corcoran's claim will come in handy; fine on all ground.

Low-mileage and consistent 9yo; odds-on in winning two minor races last spring (heavy/good) and back from 170 days off to take a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good) without too much fuss; only 5lb higher and subsequent break might be a good thing.

A 3l winner over C&D in December and ran just as well in defeat back here nine days ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights so booking Chad Bament with his 7lb claim makes sense; versatile ground-wise.
