Jarrold Handicap Chase

Record has become distinctly patchy so, while he shaped pretty well when third of 6 at Warwick last time, he's not guaranteed to build on it.

Resumed winning ways with plenty in hand back over hurdles at Ludlow in February. Solid second back over fences at same track since and best not to draw too much into a lesser run over hurdles last time. Should be thereabouts.

Scored over C&D in April but has reverted to type since, again below form having made mistakes at Plumpton last time. Return to this track is in his favour.

Dual hurdles winner and bettered previous chasing efforts when third in a handicap at Kempton last time. Rangy type who could improve in this sphere if his jumping sharpens up, so respected.
