This represents a big drop in class from contesting the Ladbroke Chase on his last start. Finishing 6th in that high class race perhaps doesn’t do him justice as he led for much of the way and only faded in the home straight. Returning to a right handed track will suit, as will the soft ground as he’s a record of 3 wins from 4 starts when getting those conditions. He’s also back down to a mark from which he can win off and may well get an easy lead here and prove very hard to peg back.
