Form & Verdict
Improving 6yo; 4-4 since switched to chasing in the summer, easily scoring at Uttoxeter (2m6f, good) last week to land the four-timer; an 8lb rise demands more but he may still have more in the tank; obvious chance.

He won two in a row in the summer (3m2f/2m7f, good) but was pulled up at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October and soundly beaten in the Rehearsal at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last time; needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Dual point winner; made a promising start over hurdles, winning novice at Carlisle (3m1f, good to soft) in March and running well when fifth of nine in handicap at Ayr the following month; remains unexposed and now goes chasing; stable won this 12 months ago with another lightly raced sort.

9yo who has won just one of his 17 chases but he's finished second in nine of them, including at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) in March; also effective on good ground and he won here over hurdles; not ruled out on return.

Form & Verdict
3-11 over hurdles, the wins coming from 2m1f to 2m5f; no easy task when 9l last of three on chasing debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good; 3-1) this month and he has more realistic claims now back in a handicap.

Placed twice (once over C&D) for Ralph Smith when cheekpieces were refitted this summer and has claims if judged on those efforts, but needs to rebound from last month's underwhelming stable debut.

Hasn't won for ages but twice placed this summer (2m7f/2m6f) for Ralph Smith and can go well again off this mark provided another change of stable doesn't rock the boat.

Returned from break with two fairly respectable runs towards the end of last season (2m3f/2m4f) and another when third over 2m7f in the refitted cheekpieces at Worcester one month ago; not the force of old and has not won since 2021 but has place claims.

Exploited his reduced mark to justify favouritism at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in February and faced no easy task when beaten in a match last time (2m5f claiming chase); only 6lb higher than for that recent win which was fairly authoritative.
