Only 3lb higher than for his last win over hurdles; solid enough run when last seen

Returned from longer absence to win a four-runner renewal of this 12 months ago; good mark

Better known as a staying chaser these days but respected off his lower hurdle mark

Once a smart chaser; remains capable over hurdles, as he showed last season

Last season ended disappointingly but he has undergone another wind operation

Could be outstayed by some of these over this far, especially should the ground soften up
