Fortunate to win Grade 2 at Thurles in January when left in the lead at the final flight, and below-par third in Grade 1 Ascot Chase last time, when 7l behind runner-up Pic d'Orhy in a race he won last year (on soft); however, he's been an impressive winner of the last two runnings of this race (good to soft) and perhaps first-time cheekpieces will give him a boost.

Alongside Fakir D'Oudairies (from whom he was receiving 6lb) when making bad mistake at final fence in Grade 2 at Thurles (2m4f, yielding) in January; another good run when fourth in the Ryanair at last month's Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) but seems likely he'll come up short once more.

Second-season chaser who has thrived in handicaps this term, winning at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in December before two fine seconds in hot races at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft), most recently at the Festival last month; also effective on good/good to soft; however, further improvement needed now up in grade.

Sole win from his last ten starts came when odds-on in a graduation chase at Haydock last November; however, he's run several big races in defeat in Graded contests in that time, including when second to Fakir D'Oudairies in this last year (good to soft) and when third in last month's Ryanair (2m4f, good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); unlikely to be far away.

Well beaten in the King George and Ascot Chase the last twice; however, running well earlier in the season and his record in Grade 1s at this meeting very much catches the eye, with a third in the 2021 Liverpool Hurdle (2m4f, good to soft) and a 10l win in last season's Manifesto Novices' Chase (2m4f, good to soft); also effective on good/soft; interesting now back here.

Won Grade 2 novice chase at Haydock last January and better than ever when making all in handicaps at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) and Kelso (2m5f, good) the last twice; runner-up in Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle in April 2021 on sole previous run here but probably vulnerable now back up in grade.

Pulled up at this meeting last year on sole run here; however, he had a wind op subsequently and won his first three starts this season (2m4f/2m5f, good/soft), including a Grade 2 defeat of Millers Bank, before bumping into a rejuvenated Shishkin when second in the Grade 1 Ascot Chase (2m5f, good to soft); 7l ahead of Fakir D'Oudairies last time and he's a leading player.
