Won two big 2m handicaps in the mud thanks to his strength at the finish; 2m4f beckons

Stays 2m4f; admirable sort who should be bang there once again

In good form this season and should be a big player in this contest back at 2m4f

Requires better form and better jumping but 2m4f+ might still hold the key

Hard to beat on best form but this stage of the season is seemingly not his time to shine
