Won three times under David Maxwell this season including over C&D two starts back. Drop in trip didn't suit at Aintree last time and is a big player once again back up in trip. Stays very well.
Twice a winner last year but it's been a tale of woe so far this season, pulling up twice before finishing second in a weak point-to-point two weeks ago. Much more needed against these.
Fairly useful chaser on his day but the wheels have come off a bit of late. Beaten a very long way in a point latest and whilst he may come on for that, hard to enthuse over winning chance in current mood.
One-time fair sort who has been at his best when there is plenty of give underfoot. Popped up at 28/1 in handicap hurdle at Navan in November. Hunter chase debut was poor for this yard latest and needs to do more.
Just the four runners for the concluding hunter chase. With questions for all three of his rivals to answer this is best left to one time smart performer UNIONISTE who has already won for his rider three times this year including over C&D and should be very tough to beat.
