Won at Worcester (2m, good) last July and he ended last year with two close calls over 2m4f; well-held fifth on reappearance at Market Rasen last month but he may have needed that run and has claims if he can get back near best.

Scored at Worcester (2m) last July and posted a very good second of 11 in 2m4f handicap there when last seen out in October; this course winner has gone well fresh so must enter calculations.

4yo who won here (2m, good) in July on his third handicap start and was beaten just a neck when upped to 2m4f at Southwell (good) three weeks ago; unexposed at the trip and entitled to respect.

Won three in a row last April-June (about 2m7f, good) and resumed her progress with convincing wins at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November and Haydock (3m, good to soft) one month ago; raised another 6lb and in grade but such a progressive mare cannot be dismissed.

Won three in a row last April-June (2m7f, good) and resumed her progressive ways with convincing win at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November; another good run when close third at Doncaster (3m, good to soft); needs something extra in this better race but further improvement isn't ruled out.

Good bumper form (three wins, including Listed) and a novice hurdle winner (all on good); nowhere near that level in two handicaps for current yard and cheekpieces are now turned to; the prospect of softening ground is a further concern.

Lightly raced since Listed bumper win in February 2023; ran as though something was amiss when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut in August but battled well for narrow success in Worcester maiden hurdle (2m, good) two starts ago and remains open to further improvement if back on song here.
