Form & Verdict
Had Lightkeeper behind when catching out an idling leader over C&D last month but the Elliott horse got his revenge back here 17 days ago; this 6yo would have got closer had he been cleaner over the last fence; closely matched with his old rival.

J: James Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Back in prime form when keeping on strongly for clearcut success in first-time blinkers at Worcester (2m7f, good) 12 days ago, and now 4-11 over fences; on the downside, he's never run here before and will have something to prove if the ground is slower than good to soft.

T: Mickey Bowen

Back to form with 9l second to well-handicapped winner at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f, good) in June and it was the competitive Summer Plate there in which he was soundly beaten last time (hampered four out and wasn't disgraced); could be in the mix back down in grade, provided the step back up in trip isn't an issue; wears first-time blinkers.

King Roly

10st 5lb

J: Shane Fenelon

T: Mickey Bowen

Three wins at around 2m4f last season, all in small fields on good ground; after some blips he got himself back on track when second to a well-handicapped horse over C&D a month ago on first visit here; likely to run well with Shane Fenelon now taking off 5lb; one of three runners for a yard that's captured this eight times.

Form & Verdict
Reversed previous C&D form with King Roly under an aggressive front-running ride from Sean Bowen here 17 days ago (good); that wasn't without the occasional scare over his fences but he's clearly capable of going well again off just 4lb higher.

T: Gordon Elliott

Maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has won three chases since and is rated 128 in that sphere; was second in a Bellewstown claimer in August when last over hurdles; a spin in the charity race at Punchestown can have him straight; valuable 5lb claimer a help.

Form & Verdict
Progressive over hurdles last season in winning two 2m handicaps (on soft) and his following defeats were no backward steps (on good to soft and good); has a career-high mark to deal with but might well improve again for fences.

Chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn (three attempts) and he's looked out of sorts over hurdles lately; will appreciate this ease in grade but still needs huge boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

Potentially well handicapped but he tried chasing earlier this season and hasn't offered a lot back over hurdles; it looks significant that regular rider Sam Twiston-Davies has turned elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who has had little racing for a 7yo; placed in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here before finishing fourth over C&D on his chase debut when left behind by Lightkeeper and King Roly; asking plenty of him to reverse placings with both of those.
