Form & Verdict
Largely consistent 7yo who mixes hurdling with chasing and has very good 7-29 strike-rate over jumps; won Worcester chase (2m7f, good; first-time visor) off 3lb higher mark two starts ago and will be fine over today's longer trip; probably won't be far away.

Resumed winning ways after six months off in 4m1f hunter chase at Warwick (good) 22 days ago; effective over this much shorter trip and this likeable front-runner is not out of things.

Highly impressive 26 finishes in the first four (eight of them wins) from 30 rules/pointing runs for the Owens, with stamina proven up to 3m6f; all-the-way hurdles winner over 3m2f here just last autumn (good), and likelier than some to run his race.

Form & Verdict
Not quite at her best this year but went down fighting when close second off reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) 12 days ago; went back up 3lb for that but it's worth remembering his career-best performance (in May 2024) came over this C&D on good ground.

Landed Alastair Ralph a fourth win from his last six runners when powering home in the debuted visor (replaced) at Stratford latest (2m6f, good); player, though he has never yet managed to follow up a win, and the penalty takes him 7lb above the mark defied in this race last year.

Won twice in cheekpieces last year (2m6f/3m1f) and was seemingly back in prime form in first-time blinkers at Stratford (2m6f, good) this month, winning four-runner race comfortably by 10l; recent 7lb rise asks quite a lot of her but she ought to give another good account.
