Form & Verdict
Joined Dan Skelton after promising Irish bumper debut at start of 2025; hasn't made an impact in four chase runs for current yard but he's had some tough assignments and he shaped better than the bare facts when runner-up on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft); has taken a strong hold in his last two runs and he's a possible improver on this drop back in trip.

Down in distance and off the mark at Leicester (2m, heavy) last month, left clear three out; a 7lb rise is hardly lenient on the face of it, but he could be unexposed at this trip.

Form & Verdict
0-9 over hurdles but he made it second time lucky over fences when scoring at Ludlow (2m, good to soft; 12-1) in December; should have more to offer in this sphere but he was disappointing at Doncaster 19 days ago and needs to bounce back after that.

Won at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in December on second chase start; he hasn't kicked on from that on his two outings since but it was still a respectable effort behind a well-handicapped winner at Leicester (2m, heavy) last time and he could have a big part to play today.

Opened his account in Ludlow contest (2m, good to soft; second chase attempt) most recently; may well build on that success and improve further over fences; upped in class but receives plenty of weight all round; interesting contender.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who was 2-3 as a novice hurdler last season (wins gained on soft/good to soft); ran no race on chase/handicap debut at Kempton (2m4f, good) on Boxing Day, but he got back on track with a close second at Warwick (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; up 3lb but that was a clear personal best last time and he's open to more progress over fences.

Irish point winner who was 2-3 as a novice hurdler last season (wins gained on soft/good to soft); his three runs over fences since December include a close second at Warwick (2m, good to soft) but he was tailed off in both runs either side of that; still lightly raced but he has something to prove on this big step back up in trip.
