Close fourth in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, good to soft) in March 2025 and very well handicapped on that form; not shown much in just four subsequent runs but couldn't discount.

Close fourth of 17 at in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, good to soft) last March and now 5lb lower; it was his chase debut when pulled up at Lingfield in November but he nevertheless arrives with something to prove regarding his current form; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Switched to fences this season and produced three good runs in defeat (2m-2m4f) before flopping in first-time cheekpieces when made favourite at Huntingdon in early February; could be given another chance with that headgear swiftly removed.

Low-mileage 7yo who has encouraging form switched to fences this season, good second at Ludlow (upped to 2m4f, good to soft) most recently; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.

Low-mileage 7yo who kept on for third in his first two chases, the latter at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) last month; could quite plausibly have untapped potential over 2m4f and features prominently in calculations.

Two solid efforts in staying chases in June and July (RPRs of 98 and 101), form that would give him leading claims; below that level in two runs over hurdles since but has had wind surgery since and returns to fences off 4lb lower since his latest run over fences; looks a major player.

Launched chasing career with two very respectable runs in June and again ran okay when sixth of ten on last month's hurdling return at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); continues to edge down the weights and won't mind if the ground softens; could have a say.

Five-time hurdle winner who ended last year with a brave success at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft); well held there in both runs this spring but he got involved in a battle up front last time; a player if he can get back near his best.

Steadily worked his way back to form this season, culminating in a narrow win over C&D (good to soft; 5lb higher today) in December under 7lb claimer; reverted to a lesser show 19 days ago but perhaps he needed that run after more than three months off.

Had been struggling but has steadily got himself back on track and prevailed narrowly over C&D in December on latest appearance; 6lb higher for this and connections claimed another 7lb last time through Isabelle Ryder, but he had dropped to a fair mark anyway.
