8 yo Gelding

OR: 103

Form & Verdict
Progressive gelding who made it four chase wins in a row when successful over this C&D 19 days ago; continues to climb the weights and will reach his ceiling at some point but he is in such great heart that he has to be afforded maximum respect.

J: Connor Brace

T: John & Rhys Flint

Won five consecutive chases on good ground in 2022 but lightly raced and inconsistent since; respectable second at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in April, after a break, but looked out of sorts at Fontwell last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.

J: Connor Brace

Completed a five-timer in 2022 including two wins here (2m2f, good); second of five at Wincanton (2m, good) five weeks ago on his return from seven months off, but was beaten 10l by the winner; stays this far and 3lb below his last winning mark, but probably needs to find a bit more.

Form & Verdict
Winner of three of his 18 starts over fences, each of those successes achieved at Plumpton; not seen since finishing fourth over this C&D in May; has undergone a third wind surgery during his break; reliable sort but is probably best watched on his return to action.

All four wins have been gained at this track and latest was over C&D (soft) in January; that was off 2b higher but he's not come close to that form since and was a well-held third of four at Fontwell on his recent return after another wind op; has bit to prove and he needs a major revival.

Put a couple of poor efforts behind him when finishing second at Southwell (2m, good) last month; cheekpieces go on for the first time; faces a stiff task from 6lb out of the handicap.

OR: 110

Form & Verdict
Won over hurdles on stable debut at Leicester (2m, soft) in January; disappointed next time but there was nothing wrong with her close second to a thriving rival on her final start of the season at Chepstow (2m7f, good) in April; has had wind surgery ahead of this seasonal/chasing debut; yard in decent form and she could well be good enough.
