Right back to form on last month's second start after 16 months out, just holding on in a Uttoxeter Class 4 (3m, good to soft); form of that win remains untested, but 4lb rise probably fair; effective on good also.

J: Nick Slatter

Made the breakthrough when scoring over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in April 2024 but not seen since falling two out (was second and closing) over that C&D six months later; has since switched stables (same owners) and market might help on this reversion to hurdles after 504 days away.

J: Charlie Price

Completed a double over fences at Taunton (2m7f, soft) in March 2024 but he's returned from 690 days off with two underwhelming runs (hurdles/chase) this spring; looks well handicapped on his old form but he needs to raise his game on this drop back in trip.

Chasing record reads 3-6 following this month's 5l defeat of Loup De Maulde at Wincanton (3m1f, good; RPR 128), and although taking him to a new career-high mark the 4lb rise for that doesn't look an overreaction; no track or going issues, and case looks solid once more.

Both chase wins have come in small fields over similar trips to this; he's a strong stayer who might have more to give after only four runs over fences, so commands respect on that alone despite this rise in class.

Has a good record fresh and a good record at Cheltenham, albeit on the New course and he was pulled up on his only run on the Old one (today's course); on a useful mark and didn't run badly during the summer at Uttoxeter, which wouldn't be his track.
