Overcame a late mistake to win at Chepstow and just 3lb higher for this

Unlikely to be far away if repeating his close fifth under a big weight at Cheltenham

Stays all day and wouldn't want this to turn tactical, but hard to rule out

Best at Haydock but he was runner-up three times elsewhere last season; chance

Best days behind him but handicapped accordingly and not discounted

Laboured return at Chepstow when behind two of these; opposable after that
