Nigel Twiston-Davies said: "He will attempt to win the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Handicap Chase for the second year in a row."
* Got up in the dying strides to gain a head success over Super Duty in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Handicap Chase at The Festival in 2013.
* Followed up that victory with another excellent run in a handicap chase, filling the runner-up spot in the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown Park the following month.
* Has failed to match those heights so far this term in three Grade Three contests, coming home 11th in the United House Gold Cup at Ascot on November 2 and 10th in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on November 30. Pulled up on latest start in the Betfred Classic Chase at Warwick on January 11.
* Could bid for a repeat win in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Handicap Chase (rated 4lb higher compared to last year) or run in the Baylis & Harding Affordable Luxury Handicap Chase.
