Was in no form on the Flat before finishing second in a big-field handicap hurdle at Chepstow in October; disappointing that he failed to build on that at Fontwell and he's becoming hard to predict. |

Has mainly run well off higher marks since winning at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last summer and his record suggested he would have needed last month's run after 224 days off, but it would still have been preferable had he shown more. |

Bumper winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; had no apparent excuses when a 24l fourth at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) and hopes largely pinned on this longer trip making a difference (pedigree bodes well in that respect). |

Looked set to finish second before last-fence unseat at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March and bumped into revitalised subsequent winner when second at Fakenham (3m5f, good) last month; went close in 2024 edition of this race on only previous visit to Fontwell; good chance. |

Soundly beaten in February, after a layoff, but looked set to finish second before last-fence mishap at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month, and this move back up in trip will probably suit (placed over 3m3f last summer). |

All three chase wins have come over 3m at Southwell (good/soft) and latest was off 2lb higher last January; well held at Southwell last month but he may have needed that run after six months off and he's a player if he can get back near best. |

Only blinkered this season and the aids are working well, registering a fourth hurdle win under a positive ride at Wincanton (2m, heavy); 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but he has to be considered; good to soft is fine. |

Posted a win then a near-miss over hurdles last April (2m3f/2m6f, good to soft); unable to match that form over fences this season but she was a fair fourth at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in December and has had a wind op since being pulled up last time; no surprise if she goes well now back hurdling. |
