Form & Verdict

Eight-race maiden; good runner-up in Class 4 event at Chepstow (2m) most recently and that was only his second attempt over fences; fighting chance back down in grade.

Form & Verdict

Not particularly solid on hurdles form and lacked fluency last time, which adds uncertainty now switched to chasing; tongue-tie applied.

Form & Verdict

Won off a similar mark over fences last May and ran creditably when favourite at Hereford most recently; more exposed than some of these rivals but has solid claims.
