Won a couple of times in 2021/22 campaign under this rider and would have gone close to making a winning return over C&D in October 2022 had his jumping not let him down. Not disgraced in stronger contest next time and can't be ruled out on belated comeback given good record fresh.

Back to winning ways at Kempton (20.5f) in November and improved on that when second of 5 in handicap chase over C&D (heavy) 30 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Goes particularly well here and ran up to best when third of 5 in handicap chase over C&D (heavy, 5/1) 30 days ago. Back down to last winning mark.

Returned to best this season, scoring over C&D on return before following up in 5-runner handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) 43 days ago, driven out. Just 3 lb higher now and must enter calculations.

Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland and better than ever for new yard, jumping well when landing 6-runner handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, soft) in August. 7 lb higher now but not taken lightly.

Multiple winner over hurdles/fences for Harry Whittington and ran a cracker on return for new yard when narrow second at Warwick (25.5f). However, rather gone backwards in a couple of starts since.

Course winner who has made the frame in a couple of small-field contests this season. Comes here operating from career-low mark but strike rate in this sphere hardly the most compelling.

Back to winning ways at this course (15.2f, heavy) in November and ran to similar level when third at Newbury the following month. Latest run can be excused and ought to give another good account here.
