Form & Verdict
Nearly all races over shorter (sole AW win over 7f in 2023) and he didn't prove stamina for 1m4f when runner-up in a slowly run race at Wolverhampton recently; up in the air as to how the closing stages will go.

Registered his most recent win off just 1lb lower over 1m4f here in February but hasn't shown enough in two runs back from a break to suggest his turn is near.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off over hurdles on Boxing Day; had wind surgery since; in good form on turf in the middle months of 2024, including when winning 1m2f classified at Ffos Las in August and worth remembering his 1-2 record over C&D in 2022; of interest in uncompetitive race.

Sole success under NH rules was when landing a maiden hurdle at this track in June 2022; has been running at a low level on the Flat this year without success and makes chasing debut; difficult to fancy.

Form & Verdict
Three wins on Tapeta here; went through a quiet spell last year but he's a regular winner down the years and benefited from a drop in grade when winning a C&D classified on the nod 12 days ago; back up just 1lb and has less to prove than most.

Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break.

J: Dylan Hogan

Likeable sort who is back in fine form of late and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging a pair of 1m6f/1m4f handicaps at Southwell; up another 3lb but he rates a big player once more.

Some bumper promise in 2023; pulled up in three hurdles since, then remote in three qualifying runs on AW; hard to be sure he'll be an immediate improver now handicapping but it's not impossible; yard in form.
