'Edged home in a tight finish when trying 3m for the first time at Newbury; 4lb higher'

'Back hurdling with a fifth at Kempton and that form was well advertised at Aintree'

'Won well enough at Ascot latest to earn this 6lb rise; ran well at this meeting last year'

'Dangerous off this mark back over hurdles and with drying ground in his favour'

'Well handicapped; wellbeing an issue as he was tailed off when unseating here in October'

'C&D winner but failed to fire in the Pertemps Final when he weakened quickly'

'Consistent stayer who deserved his Exeter success; brings each-way claims'

'Long-time absent but Grade 2 winner in the past with the class to go well under top weight'

'Ran perfectly well to be third on ground too soft for him at Doncaster last month'

'Really needed to run better than he did on his return from a break at Newbury'

'Has been holding his own in handicaps (2m-3m) without looking ahead of his mark'

'Still a useful horse at the age of 11 but he does look vulnerable to up-and-comers'

'Looks well handicapped on his novice defeat of a subsequent improver'
