'Below par at Ascot but this is easier and otherwise he's been a progressive novice chaser'

'Won at Wetherby three weeks ago and he's won here three times; respected'

'Good second over hurdles in January when last seen & he ran well on his last chase outing'

'Won this last year; hasn't threatened on recent starts but has dropped down the weights'

'Third in this last year and now 12lb lower but he's struggled to get competitive since'
