Made a winning start over fences at Newcastle (2m7f) in October; has failed to build on it though and she unseated her rider at Hexham (3m) two weeks ago; has a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Has a point to prove after last month's poor performance but ran big race when clear second of 14 behind next-time-out winner at Worcester (2m7f, good) two starts ago and stable conditional Oliver Boyden (who has ridden two winners) is able to claim 10lb here.

J: Luke Scott

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

His last four outings have seen him runner-up twice and pulled up twice; that makes him 2-14 over hurdles, with the two wins early in 2023 before he went handicapping; no problems with trip or ground but he does not appear the most reliable proposition on this switch to chasing.

J: Oliver Boyden

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Only four ran at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November but he ran well behind an in-form rival; has each-way claims with Oliver Boyden again taking 10lb off his back.

Form & Verdict
Placed twice on good ground in early part of this season (2m7f/3m1f) and is effectively 1lb lower today but his recent efforts have been disappointing and he has not won since collecting this prize in 2022; visor the headgear of choice today.

Form & Verdict
Won Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, soft) in January but not seen over hurdles since 18l defeat on handicap debut here (2m3f, soft) later that month, and last month's 2m Flat win here came off a lowly mark; hiked up in trip today; a couple of the others appeal more.

He's posted easy wins here this June (2m2f, good), August (2m1f, good to firm) and September (2m1f, good to soft); plenty to find with the form principals but can give another good account at his favourite track.
