Third at Southwell in November 2025, beaten a length and a quarter over two miles and four and a half furlongs on good to soft, he has form to suit this assignment. He races from the same mark of 100, so a repeat of that effort would give him a sound chance. That was a welcome improvement on heavy defeats at Uttoxeter and Stratford in October 2025, leaving some inconsistency to weigh up. He now returns from 343 days off, so reproducing the Southwell effort after that break is the main question.

A Class 5 chase winner here over two miles on good to soft in December 2025, he returns to a course and going that have suited him. His mark of 100 is 3lb above that success, giving him a reasonable chance if he can recapture the same level of form. However, his third at Wincanton in March was a distant one, beaten 24 lengths, and he now returns from 243 days off. Today's two and a half miles is four and a half furlongs further than at Wincanton, adding a different test on his return.

His second over hurdles here in December 2025, beaten two and a half lengths over two miles and three and a half furlongs on good to soft, offers encouragement for today's conditions. However, his February run at Wincanton over two and a half miles on the same going ended with him twelfth, beaten 28 and a quarter lengths. He returns from 251 days off for this chase, with a fair amount to prove after that effort. His siblings Tango Boy and Fearless Action have both won over fences, offering some encouragement for this discipline.

He won a Class 5 chase at Fontwell over two miles and three and a half furlongs in May, and is just 1lb higher today. That gives him a fair chance on his better form, but he was beaten 53 and a quarter lengths at Stratford on 17 October. The return to two and a half miles cuts two and a half furlongs from that assignment and takes him nearer his winning distance. His February chase success at Sedgefield came on good to soft, providing reassurance about today's ground.

Beaten 42 and three quarters of a length over hurdles at Fontwell in May, he needs a substantial step forward to figure in this chase. His fourth at Plumpton in April also came at a distance, 27 lengths behind the winner, so those hurdle efforts offer limited encouragement. He returns after 181 days off from a mark of 84, tackling two and a half miles, two and a half furlongs further than at Fontwell. Jamie and Josh Moore have had two winners from 13 runners in the past fortnight.

Went very close when second over two miles and half a furlong at Huntingdon in March, an effort that would put him in the picture here. His mark of 79 is 2lb lower than for that run, but he was beaten more than 20 lengths when fifth at Fontwell on 14 May. He returns after 173 days off and steps up two furlongs to two and a half miles. His third at that trip at Huntingdon in February came when beaten 61 lengths on heavy ground, so the placing offers limited reassurance.

Runner-up over fences at Fontwell in August and Southwell on 1 October, he has shown he can be competitive in this grade from a mark of 74. He remains on that mark, although he was beaten six lengths over two miles and four and a half furlongs at Southwell and needs a little more. His latest third came in a bumper at Market Rasen on 17 October, so that was a different test from today's chase. Jonathan Burke's five winners in the past fortnight offer further encouragement.
