Form & Verdict
40-1 win at Ffos Las (soft) and creditable third at Fakenham (good) next time, both at 2m4f; pulled up when 14-1 in the EBF Final at Sandown (good to soft) three weeks ago but this is a vastly less competitive affair and he could bounce back; in the shake-up if he does.

0-4 over fences this term but far from disgraced on a couple of starts and ran respectably when fourth back over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month; yet to win in handicap company but drops in class returned to fences and warrants respect.

Record of 0-4 switched to fences this term, albeit far from disgraced on two occasions; 2-6 over hurdles and finished a creditable second at Plumpton (2m4f) last April in most recent attempt; each-way possibilities.

Younger than most of these and posted a career best when second at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February; stiffer task in C&D non-handicap next time; unexposed over this trip and beyond, and drying ground may suit (last win came on good); definitely of interest in first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
Won British maiden point by 7l on debut in April 2023; absent until second this season in maiden hurdles here (near 2m4f) and at Ascot (extended 2m5f) before easily going one better when 8-13 at Hereford (3m2f); last two of those (his best form) were on good to soft, unraced on good; perhaps more of a staying prospect but he's promising.

Stays this far when all's well with him, but his jumping didn't pass muster on December's chasing debut; hopes rest with the wind procedure received since stopping quickly here latest and/or the cheekpieces.

Did well as a novice hurdler, winning a 3m1f maiden at Hereford; jumping failed to stand the test at Sandown on his chase debut and now tackling his first handicap over hurdles; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Failed to get home over 2m4f at Sandown on penultimate start, having raced freely on his only go in cheekpieces; progressive over shorter than that and got off the mark in 2m handicap at Newbury (soft) on latest outing but, despite his pedigree, this trip is a worry.

Only 3lb higher than for sole career win in Newbury handicap hurdle 13 months ago (2m, soft; fine on good ground), which was only three starts back; didn't run too badly on his chase debut on reappearance after a break of 337 days; ran just okay when cheekpieces were tried once before but hard to rule out.

Chase debutant who badly lacks recent match practice (absent for 337 days) but is otherwise interesting, having gained his sole hurdles success on this card last year; market may offer further guidance.

Form & Verdict
Had three starts for Nicky Henderson, ending last month with second to an impressive winner in maiden hurdle at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) where he was hampered at the third last but that did not cost him the win; has changed hands and should still have some potential but the penalised winners in this have shown a fair bit more.
