Form & Verdict
Won over 2m3f here in 2023 and returns here after finishing second on consecutive outings during the winter; rallied well after penultimate-fence stumble at Southwell (3m, good to soft) on latter occasion, losing out only by a short head, and tackles this new trip from the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Struggled to cope with heavy ground when last in action but was evidently well suited by the move up to a marathon trip when battling well for narrow win at Fakenham (3m5f, good to soft) in December and is only 1lb higher here; contender if handling today's faster ground.

Form & Verdict
Three-time cross-country chase winner in France in 2021 and a hurdle winner for Dan Skelton in spring 2023; returned from long absence with two poor hurdle runs for new stable this winter but ran well for a long way when back over fences at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in February and is sure to appreciate today's ease in grade; worth a second look.

Both wins for this stable came over fences (officially rated 5lb higher) at Worcester (2m7f, good) in the summer, but his sole success over hurdles came over C&D (good to soft) for Dan Skelton in April 2023; still needs to show he can do it in this discipline, though; stable also runs Calagogo.
