He looks tailor-made for the Ryanair Chase, and was unlucky not to beat Min when runner-up in this race last year. He has every chance of going one better on Thursday.

He's unbeaten at Cheltenham and a much bigger price than usual. He has something like his ideal trip and drying ground to further suit.

Beat Galvin in the novices’ handicap chase at the Festival last year and has picked up from where he left off this term. Can put his blip at Kempton last time behind him.

Stepping back up to a trip over which he scored at Grade One level as a novice and returned to a venue where he has flourished in the past, finishing fourth in the 2019 Supreme and second in the 2020 Arkle, he has the right credentials to step forward again.
