Form & Verdict
Fine first season over hurdles climaxed in clearcut success in Grade 1 Sefton Novices' at Aintree (3m, good to soft) in April; looks an exciting recruit to chasing and should take the beating if putting in a clear round.

J: Harry Cobden

T: Paul Nicholls

Promising start to chasing career in late 2022, and returned from long absence with fair sixth over hurdles this winter; yard won this last year and he has his sights lowered after tackling the Kim Muir last month, but he's now been pulled up over fences the last twice and has something to prove.

J: Miss Olive Nicholls

T: Paul Nicholls

Grade 1 novice hurdle winner in April 2022 and well treated on novice chase form from late 2022; returned from long absence with fair sixth over hurdles in December; heavy ground may have been too much over fences at Sandown last month but he was pulled up and others have less to prove.

Form & Verdict
3m good-ground point winner; best hurdles run when landing the odds in Musselburgh maiden (2m4f, good to soft) in March; in good hands and should make a chaser but faces a tough-looking task at today's weights.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Very lightly raced but fairly useful hurdles/chase winner for Laura Morgan in 2021/22; just two runs since back from huge absence for this yard and not totally disgraced when seventh over 3m at Ffos Las (soft) in March, prominent to three out; had wind surgery since; tongue-tie now added.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Made very promising start to chasing career for Laura Morgan in 2022 but, following a mammoth absence, struggled to get competitive (albeit in a good race) on last month's stable debut; sports refitted cheekpieces here; current ability very hard to gauge.

Form & Verdict
Progressed well over hurdles during the second half of last season, winning back-to-back 2m4f/2m5f handicaps; made a solid start to his chasing career with an all-the-way win at Chepstow (2m7f) three weeks ago; handles all types of ground; penalised but should make another bold bid.

A five-time winner over hurdles but he's been struggling to recapture that level of form since returning from a long absence; has come a long way down the weights but others make more immediate appeal.
