Made it 2-4 over fences when he pulled clear with the second at Southwell (3m2f, good); no reason why he shouldn't be very competitive off 4lb higher.

Latest effort, upped to this grade, suggests she remains in form; proving consistent and she is 1-1 at Southwell (scored comfortably in November 2024); respected.

Form & Verdict
Overall chase record of 2-16; dug deep to win over a trip just shy of 3m at Lingfield (soft; 5lb lower) and 3m6f on heavy found him out at Exeter a month ago; may prefer softer ground in an ideal world but hard to rule out.

T: Richard J Bandey

2-2 on heavy going (one in Britain); first chase win was in France in 2022 and it was his 12th attempt in a British chase when he finally won one at Lingfield (extended 2m7f, soft) last month; back up 5lb for this first appearance beyond 3m1f, so others appear more solid.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't been at her best of late (behind Smurfette latest) but she has the form to feature off this mark and won't mind getting back on drier ground; stays this far; possible.

Solid record off current mark comprises a success at Huntingdon in 2024 and second-place finishes in this race last year and at Ffos Las in October; not ruled out.

J: Fern O’Brien

Gave good account when second on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and remains on a workable mark but her latest run was disappointing and she'd arguably appeal more on better ground than is forecast.
