Form & Verdict
Sole win in 15 starts came over hurdles in France as a 3yo, but he has finished runner-up in four of his six outings since returning to fences last summer; all of those were over further, but he hasn't quite been getting home so the drop in trip looks an interesting move.

0-9 over fences but he seemed to respond well to cheekpieces when runner-up on final two starts last season (2m5f/2m4f) and may not have been suited by the drop back to 2m when below form here in May; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Has hit form lately, making all at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month and finishing second of five (a long way clear of the third) at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 16 days ago; cheekpieces are given a go and he should go well if again given a positive ride over this shorter trip.

Has not really kicked on from his front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in the spring but his Newton Abbot third (3m2f, good) in July was a good effort and this return to a right-handed track will suit.

Came good with front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April but his last couple of runs (2m/2m4f) were substandard and he tackles this new trip with some questions to answer.

Very much in and out since winning over C&D (good) last September, but is just 2lb higher so cannot be ruled out if the return here does the trick.

C&D winner just over a year ago and signs of a revival with two better runs returned here of late, including when not far behind Rocks Up Late and Alshadhian last month; player if reproducing those efforts on better terms.

Form & Verdict
0-7 under rules and has become disappointing, as when pulling up on his chase debut at Leicester (2m7f, soft) in January; hopes pinned on the four-month break, drop back in trip and return to good ground sparking a revival.

Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works.

Four good runs over fences this season, the most notable a win at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) two starts ago; also suited by this C&D and good ground; leading contender.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up in just four starts between December 2023 and January this year, but a change of stable and application of a tongue-tie produced an immediate dividend when winning at Bangor (2m1f, good) six days ago; was 5lb wrong there, so is just 2lb higher under his penalty and 6lb well in compared to his revised mark; big chance provided this doesn't come too soon.

11st 9lb

J: Toby Wynne

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Hit the ground running for this yard, winning two good-ground chases and then only beaten about 1l when third of four at Bangor in June; sent off favourite to exploit a lower hurdle mark back there in July and reportedly became fractious during the preliminaries; might be a shade high in the weights now but that might not matter in a race lacking depth.

Revitalised by switch to new stable this spring, winning two good-ground chases (one here); only beaten about 1l when third of four here a fortnight ago and now reverts to hurdling on a 9lb lower mark; could still have more to offer for his new trainers.

Turned inside out by the fitting of a tongue-tie, following up last month's C&D success from out of the weights with an even more emphatic Worcester win six days later (2m1f, good); handicapper not slow to react, but hard to know where his ceiling might be.
