Form & Verdict
Two novice wins over hurdles included one at Cheltenham; grossly flattered to get within a length of an easy winner (smart) on his chase debut in a 2m handicap at Newton Abbot (2m) but he warmed to his task there and the handicapper left his mark alone.

Delivered with a well-timed challenge to win major 3m2f handicap at Newbury (good to soft) eight weeks ago, proving suited by the new trip and taking chase record to 3-10; generally progressive and is unexposed beyond 2m4f; possibilities.

J: Tom Cannon

T: Jamie Snowden

Unraced beyond an extended 2m4f and this is a tough race in which to test his stamina; however, he was strong at the finish when winning a Grade 2 novice at Ayr (2m4f, good) in April and may well have staying potential; might have needed his reappearance in the Old Roan and is not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
A winner in France and looked good in winning a novice hurdle at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) on her British debut; couldn't build on that in three handicaps but down 8lb for her troubles and chasing could be the making of her.

Easily the most experienced over fences, and a 2m4f win here (good) off 17lb higher rounded off a spring 2024 hat-trick; no successes since, however, and it's a push to say this step up to 3m has long been needed.

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Completed chase hat-trick in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; May's second of three at Ludlow (2m4f, good) was encouraging but she's been soundly beaten since and was weak in the market when an early casualty over C&D last month; easy to look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Didn't have a lot in hand when winning two Wetherby handicap hurdles last season (2m/2m3f) but that's reflected in just a small rise in the weights and his final run was too bad to be true; bred to make a chaser.

Only 4lb higher than the mark off which he won over hurdles last season; satisfactory chase debut at Market Rasen (2m1f handicap, good to soft) but no more than that with only the two finishing; this looks stronger.

Still on a good mark despite winning twice this season (2m/2m4f; soft/good) and was 11-2 for the veterans' final over C&D earlier this month, only to depart early; has a lot in his favour so merits each-way consideration.
