Form & Verdict

Never really got going during light campaign over hurdles last season but has some fairly useful form on his CV and made quite encouraging start to chasing career when fourth at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; can't be ignored.

Form & Verdict

Good-ground specialist with nine chase wins on his CV; long in the tooth now but returned from break with two respectable runs this spring and has edged his way back down to a good mark; no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front.

Form & Verdict

Seemingly boosted by change of headgear when winning by 6l over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers in April; obvious contender if judged on that evidence but ran a lacklustre race at Aintree last month and it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the right mood in first-time visor today.
