Scored over hurdles at start of this year and built upon his promising chase debut when winning four-runner race at Plumpton (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; only 3lb higher here and probably still on the upgrade; wears tongue-tie for first time; good chance.

Battled well to win over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and also ran well when clear second to next-time-out winner at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in March; moves back up in trip for this chasing debut and has Irish pointing experience to call upon; high on the list.

0-35, often placed; recent respectable efforts suggest he's on a tough mark but he's versatile regarding trip and Murray Dodd can claim his full allowance on this occasion, so he should still be competitive.

Veteran who has won three times over fences since December including at Plumpton (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; that was in a small field and his main rival made a bad mistake at the last but he still looks feasibly treated and is versatile ground-wise; respected.

Posted three wins over fences in the winter of 2024-25, all at around this trip, and staged a revival when third at Fontwell (2m4f, good; Begin The Luck second) three weeks ago; back up in class but on a winnable mark and he's one to consider with the stable among the winners.

His form took off with three wins over fences last winter; however, his good run came to a halt at Stratford last March and he was tailed off again on his comeback at Haydock (2m45f, good) last month; has some questions to answer and he needs to get back on track.

His form took off with three wins over fences last winter; however, his good run came to an abrupt halt at Stratford last March and he hasn't been seen since; no great record fresh to date but the betting is perhaps the best guide to his chance.
