Form & Verdict
Hasn't been running well for a while now, since winning the Summer Plate over C&D in July 2024; too well handicapped to dismiss with confidence, though, and a tongue-tie belatedly returns.

Fair form when third of five at Bangor (3m, good) recently; this trip and track can suit better, having won three of four runs (hurdles and fences) here at about today's distance and he has something in hand of Nickelforce on a C&D run last October; the refitting of cheekpieces is a slight query, having run poorly in them last summer, but solid otherwise.

Strike-rate of 5-15 over fences, winning a small-field handicap at Market Rasen in October (2m5f, good; has won over 2m7f) for the last of those wins; his close third of four on his belated return to hurdling last month was an encouraging run and should have teed him up nicely for this; on a fair mark and that's without factoring in his jockey's claim.

Four-time chase winner who was only beaten about 5l when fifth of 13 in this season's valuable Summer Plate at Market Rasen (nearly 2m7f, good) and also ran well when third of four over that C&D last month; eased in grade today and on a good mark; must be considered.

Consistent chaser who was better than ever in dominating a small field at Fakenham two runs back (2m5f185yds, good); didn't run badly in defeat last time and off a light weight he could have a part to play.

Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely.

Seemingly back in prime form when beating a subsequent Cheltenham winner at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December but wasn't at same level when weakening third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month, after a break, and needs that recent run to have brought her on.
