Six-time chase winner whose form dipped in May/June and he fared little better over hurdles three weeks ago; should be sharper for that now back over fences but needs to find some spark.

Form & Verdict
No match for the first two on last month's chase and seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) but that was a warm little race and he could improve for the run; this 4yo has won on the Flat and over hurdles and it will be no surprise if he's in the mix.

Jumping let him down in what was effectively a 0-150 handicap here latest (2m3f, good to soft); his string of low-130s RPRs before that read well in tonight's company, however, and although still 9lb above any mark defied he did land a C&D novice handicap last year on one other visit.

Form & Verdict
Completed a heavy-ground double when winning over C&D in February; mixed form since but he may have needed last month's seasonal and stable debut at Fontwell; ran well on good/good to soft ground early in career; could be a contender in first-time cheekpieces.

All three wins have been on heavy ground; C&D second in January was also on soft but his two placed efforts over 2m4f at Wincanton since came on good to soft and good; ought to be thereabouts again but it is now over two years since his last win.

Easily made all in two 4yo chases in France in first half of this year (2m1f, heavy/soft); took step back in right direction when fifth of six at Fakenham three weeks ago on second British start, but has to build on that.

Won on heavy and soft in France but kept to good or quicker in Britain; front-runner who has a good record at Sedgefield, winning twice there in 2025 (2m and 2m3f); still 5lb higher than the latest of them in October but he can go well fresh so not ruled out back from a break.

Form & Verdict
He's won three times at Fontwell (2m2f/2m3f, good to soft/good) this season and can also be effective elsewhere; underwhelming at Fontwell (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago but not discounted given previous good form.

Four wins and two seconds from 11 races at Fontwell; his last success was off this mark over an extended 2m3f in September but he's been well held in all three runs since and needs a major revival; stablemate of All Authorized.

Form & Verdict
Went very close on debut in France over hurdles in March 2023; yet to reproduce that form in Britain but has shown hints of promise and he benefits from a valuable 4yo allowance on today's chase and handicap debut; interesting contender.

0-8 over hurdles but shaped very well before fading into fifth in soft-ground C&D maiden last month (first run after a wind op); has better chance at the weights now back in a handicap and should be fine on the faster ground; interesting.

Has shown significant hurdling ability but was well beaten in his first two handicaps (chase/hurdles), having bled from the nose on both occasions; had wind op during 81-day break; has a fighting chance if all goes well but comes with obvious risk.
