Form & Verdict
Three-time hurdle winner this season and added to his tally on last month's chasing debut at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft), asserting on run-in to score by 5l; only 3lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if the ground ends up good; sports first-time blinkers; must be considered.

3-9 over hurdles, the wins at 2m5f-3m1f (one here), and recent effort off this mark under Chad Bament when second around here was solid; probably on a stiff enough mark, but appeals as the type to improve for fences and a bold showing can be expected on chase debut.

Made all for clearcut C&D (soft) success four weeks ago and is now 3-8 over hurdles; also suited by good/good to soft ground and might still be on the upgrade; commands respect.

Form & Verdict
Didn't run badly when fifth of seven here (2m5f, good to soft; usual headgear removed) 12 days ago and has become well handicapped but this season has been largely disappointing and he's not yet proven over this far.

Three-time winner but arrives here in no sort of form and the new blinkers (replacing usual cheekpieces) did nothing for him two weeks ago; now goes in no headgear; risky.

Always tended to be all or nothing but has often run well on soft; risks involved now, having been pulled up on his last two starts, but he's capable of popping up, switched from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers under in-form Rian Corcoran.

Form & Verdict
Yet to hit top gear after four runs this season and was behind Ferret Jeeter when remote third at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month but his fifth of 18 at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) two starts ago came in a much stronger race than this; can't be ruled out.

Dual course winner (2m/2m4f); never looked dangerous when fifth of 18 at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) last month but wasn't beaten far in the end, and this race is much less competitive; moves up in trip again; considered.

2-5 over hurdles; dropped out very tamely on seasonal debut in December (2m5f) but shaped well before fading into sixth at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) last month; tries a new trip here; might still have potential.

Very nearly won over C&D last January and that was only three starts ago; feasible excuses since then as probably failed to stay 3m1f and then bled here when last seen a year ago; ability respected but there are wellbeing issues after so long out.
