Sprawled three out when looking a strong contender for third at Newcastle on chase debut

Did not see 3m2f out in this race last year; staying-on 2nd to Azof Des Mottes at Ayr (3m)

While last two starts (a layoff in between) showed some ability remains, he needs better

Only six races and latest was easily his closest finish; needs better but this might suit

Two wins in the mud here but he's a frequent visitor and does not look the percentage call

Back up 6lb after his Ayr win and unraced beyond 3m but he has to be considered seriously

Has tumbled way down the weights but other runners are currently more persuasive

Seriously hit and miss lately but he won in good style here in February and stays well

Plenty of form last term gives e-w chance; remote on last month's return from summer break

Effective here; Hexham winner in March and he needs a second look
