Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden but he's often made the frame, including under Callum Pritchard, and he didn't run badly in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when fourth of six at Exeter (2m5.5f, good) last time; drops in class and he won't get many better chances than this.

Came good over hurdles at 11th attempt with ready success at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) in April; cheekpieces worn on last three starts are absent and yard yet to get off the mark this term; will need to be ready to roll on this chasing debut conceding weight all round.

Form & Verdict
One of few who can boast some solid recent form, with last month's second under Elizabeth Gale at Taunton (2m3f, good) a good effort; below that next time over 3m but was too free and didn't give herself a chance to stay; has a query at this trip too but she ran respectably on her only start in this headgear combination (2022) and has to enter calculations.

0-16 under rules (including eight chase runs) but came second over hurdles here (2m5f, good) in April and also ran very well in eventful C&D chase won by Ryder's Rock in May; 5lb wrong today but not out of this if last month's wind op makes any positive difference.

Form & Verdict
Won over fences at Worcester (2m4f, good; cheekpieces) last July after 150 days off, having pulled up the time before, and now he's not been seen since pulling up when visored 114 days ago; 0-10 over hurdles but the bar is low and he could make an impact with the cheekpieces back on.

Flat-bred, but one half-brother has won three chases; trail has gone cold since the summer's pair of Worcester 2m4f handicap hurdle frame finishes (good), and moderate results last time cheekpieces were tried.

Seemingly boosted by change of headgear when making the frame in consecutive 2m4f handicaps at Worcester this summer but his run there last time was disappointing and it's now over two years since his only win; drops back in trip today; others have more pressing claims.

Pulled up in six of his last eight starts, for three different yards; he did get round when beaten just over 12l in a selling handicap at Fakenham (2m, good; 125-1) two runs back, but doesn't look the answer here from 4lb out of the weights.

Only his second win in 42 career starts when doing it easily last week at Ffos Las (2m4f, good), defying odds of 66-1; that was from out of the weights so only 3lb higher here with a penalty; whether he'll replicate the form is the glaring concern.

Form & Verdict
Best run came when fourth of 12 in a novice hurdle here (2m1f, good to soft; 300-1) 23 months ago; that form would give him a big chance but it's been a struggle since, last time finishing ninth of 13 at Taunton (about 2m, good) when back from a break; also has stamina to prove but worth a market check.
