Unibet Middle Distance Chase Series Veterans' Handicap Chase

Winless since spring 2023 and jumping sometimes lets him down, but he's talented when on-song and was second in a competitive handicap hurdle at Kempton off this mark in February. However, he failed to fire on return at Cheltenham and will face competitive for the lead now returned to fences.

Wide-margin winner of 23.8f Perth handicap in May, but he's not the most consistent nowadays and was well held over the same C&D when last seen in July. Looks vulnerable.

Back-to-back winner of handicap chases last November and added to his tally when awarded a veterans' race at Cartmel (29.4f, soft) in May. Below par last time, but he's on a workable mark and has to enter calculations.

Didn't do much wrong during a light campaign last term, scoring return at Haydock (2½m, good to soft) in February and runner-up both completed starts since. Has undergone a wind op ahead of this seasonal reappearance and a bold show could be on the way.

Winner of a 4-runner veterans' race at Exeter (19.2f, good) and shaped well when third of 8 on return at Stratford recently. Entitled to come on for that and he's a big player.
