Back from a break with three excellent efforts and he's only 3lb higher than when winning at Doncaster the last time (November; 2m3f, good to soft); has run well on his two previous visits here.

Back on song when a 13l winner from Rip Wheeler over C&D two weeks ago, seeing it out stronger than the second on the soft ground; the returning cheekpieces did him no harm and a clear contender despite going up 6lb; all three wins have been on soft or heavy.

Has won three of his six starts over fences and perhaps found the ground too soft when a tired second behind Mon Champion over C&D recently, as he looked threatening until late on; this surface brings him into it.

Dual chase winner who has been running better than his recent heavy defeats may imply and he's on a good mark with Harry Cobden booked; off since October.

Won over hurdles prior to his successful chase debut over C&D (soft) and when a 6l third off this mark at Sedgefield his jumping could have been better; needs considering.
