Tailed off last time but had appreciated the return to hurdles with a second here (beaten 16l) before a 3l success at Lingfield (2m, heavy); he's able on good to soft ground if he can shrug aside that poor last run.

Badly out of form over fences last season but made all in a five-runner hurdle race at Lingfield (2m, heavy) this month, after a layoff, and remains on a good mark after 3lb rise; unexposed over this sort of trip; big player if able to build on that recent performance.

Form & Verdict
Beaten favourite when only seventh at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month and now 0-5 over hurdles but stayed on from poor position for second at Plumpton (2m, soft) two starts ago and may still have potential.

Fair, four-race maiden on AW Flat for Jamie Osborne last year; runner-up in two of his eight hurdle races for Warren Greatrex but soundly beaten on last two outings, claimed for £6,000 from a seller in May on latest; best watched for now.

Form & Verdict
Three-time hurdle winner on good ground; arguably ran better than eventual 48l defeat suggests when third at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last month, after a layoff, and has become well handicapped; could have a say if that recent outing brought him on.

Last won at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in May 2025; while not so good over the last year, he has gone down the weights and third of six to The Great Escape over C&D (his first run beyond 2m5f) last time gives him a place chance.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on all three hurdling starts (2m1f-2m3f) but has a lowly mark for this handicap debut and good market support will bring him into the equation; sports first-time cheekpieces.
