Back in prime form when keeping on strongly for clearcut success in first-time blinkers at Worcester (2m7f, good) 12 days ago, and now 4-11 over fences; on the downside, he's never run here before and will have something to prove if the ground is slower than good to soft.

Back to form with 9l second to well-handicapped winner at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f, good) in June and it was the competitive Summer Plate there in which he was soundly beaten last time (hampered four out and wasn't disgraced); could be in the mix back down in grade, provided the step back up in trip isn't an issue; wears first-time blinkers.

T: Mickey Bowen

Three wins at around 2m4f last season, all in small fields on good ground; after some blips he got himself back on track when second to a well-handicapped horse over C&D a month ago on first visit here; likely to run well with Shane Fenelon now taking off 5lb; one of three runners for a yard that's captured this eight times.

Five-time chase winner who bumped into a revitalised opponent when second in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and has solid claims if the ground is no worse than good to soft.

Good second over C&D (good) last September and ran pretty well in fourth over C&D (good) four weeks ago, when she was hampered three out on her second start back from a break; wears first-time cheekpieces and could get closer to the target this afternoon.

Made all at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May when back over hurdles and runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) since; she can make mistakes and fell on her last chase start in December, but won over fences at Cheltenham (3m1f, good to soft) previously; respected under regular rider Lily Bradstock.

Fell in her final chase run after a career-best win in a 3m1f handicap at Cheltenham; she's good over hurdles as well, making it 4-8 in this discipline when beating one other finisher by 30l at Fontwell last time out (2m5f, good); the handicapper didn't go overboard with a 5lb rise.

Three-time hurdle winner who showed career-best form when game winner of Cheltenham chase (3m1f, good to soft) off today's mark in October; not seen since first-fence fall in December, though, and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip.

Not firing on all cylinders this season but was second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (about 3m1f, good) in July and should find this easier than the 0-120 race he contested at Worcester last month; continues to slip down the weights; probably won't be far away.

He's on a reduced mark and has been in pretty good heart since these blinkers went on; however, he needs something extra if he's to post a first win since March 2025, and a longer trip is probably preference.
