form: 3-54P2
weight: 10-12
age: 9
trainer: Jonjo O’Neil
jockey: Richie McLernon
Verdict: Finished fourth in last year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup and looked a high class chaser during the campaign. Struggled at the start of the new season on soft ground but close to his best when second in a competitive handicap at the Cheltenham Festival. Record at Aintree is 221U3 and given a competitive mark of 153 having been 163 last season. Needs the forecast rain to stay away.
