Low-mileage 8yo who is running well and gives the impression that he'll stay this far

Progressive last season; glaring concern is his laboured reappearance

Plugged on for third at Fontwell (3m3f) and this longer trip can only be a good thing

3m5f winner on heavy so a strong stayer; reappearance run could have been better

Hard to call but a capable stayer on his day and makes stable debut after a wind operation

Went 3-3 last season once the cheekpieces were fitted and could improve some more

Had a good year but the handicapper now looks in charge and conditions are a concern

Not had a lot of racing under rules but his recent chase debut was forgettable
8	Musical Slave Bay J:Micheal Nolan T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	J:Micheal Nolan T:Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	156	b	545414	113	136	119	19d	—	—	+19	24.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Recent winner but not the force of old and good days have become hard to call

Below best in two runs after a break and going over this far could be an issue
