The 11-year-old has been in increasingly good form since returning to action this season, winning a leg of this series at Aintree in good style in late October.
His mark has risen to 132 and a rating of 131 saw him carry 10st 9lbs to a sixth-placed finish in this race last year, but that is representative of the form he is in and he won here off 131 back in January 2022.
