Good record here (won the last three of his four visits) bolsters his chance today

Fair fourth at Southwell early last month would surely not be good enough

Unsurprisingly no show at Cheltenham (66-1) but others have the edge on form in this

It's possible to forgive last two races; form last April-June makes this look manageable

Hard to beat on his old form but seemed to lose it completely; has left Dan Skelton

Plenty to prove after latest, even though second of 18 in a Cheltenham handicap in October
