8 yo Gelding

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
Consistent gelding who won again from the front with a visor back on at Cartmel in August (by 3l; 2m1f, good); only 3lb higher and, for one who stays 3m, he's unlikely to hang about.

Just held on to make winning stable debut over C&D (soft) in December but failed to build upon an encouraging reappearance run when tailed off at Market Rasen last month; others have more persuasive profiles.

Just held on to make winning stable debut under Jessica Milly Smith at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December and returned from break with fairly good fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; will also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; no surprise if he features.

J: Liam Harrison

T: Julian Smith

Won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August on penultimate run for Robbie Llewellyn and he scored on his stable debut at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; he didn't look straightforward on that latest outing but this course winner is entitled to respect nevertheless.

OR: 109

Form & Verdict
Best form was his third in a bumper and second in a 2m novice hurdle at Warwick (both on good ground); 2m5f may have been too far when sent handicapping on his final run; looks on a toughish mark but had wind surgery ahead of this chasing debut.

2-6 over fences this season, the wins gained at Huntingdon (2m, good) and Musselburgh (2m, good to soft); gave another good account when close third of five at Ascot (2m1f, good) last month and should be fine on this left-handed track; good chance.

Two wins and as many seconds in his completed starts over fences; put in his place off this mark at Kempton (2m2f, good) two weeks ago but the winner is in a good place at the minute; unlikely to be far away.

Two wins and a second to show from his completed starts over fences; got up late at Musselburgh (good to soft) last time in a style which suggests there could be more to come now racing beyond around 2m for the first time over fences; leading claims for last year's winning yard.
