Form & Verdict
Raced only on soft/good to soft; some promise in bumpers two seasons ago; 3-3 switched to hurdles (2m) last term, easily defying a double penalty at Warwick the final time; Listed scorer at Exeter the time before; progressive sort who is a very interesting chase prospect.

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Dan Skelton

Fell on only appearance last season and didn't fire on either hurdling start this autumn (albeit not beaten that far on latter occasion); very well handicapped on old form but has quite a bit to prove on first chasing start since spring 2023.

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful hurdler, winning four times over 2m; stamina stretched over a testing 2m4f and/or needed the run in novice handicap chase at Sandown on reappearance; should do better back down in distance.

Brings very strong credentials to this series final, having posted sound performances over C&D (good to soft) in last two starts, comfortably defying top weight latest; 2-6 overall for current yard; respected.

Back in good form for his current yard, landing 3m handicap chase at Wetherby in December and posting a good second of seven over C&D last time; very much one to consider off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
The best hurdler in this field, having won a couple of useful handicaps at Sandown (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) last season; shade unlucky in 2m3f novice handicap chase at Ascot on reappearance, as he was going marginally better than the eventual winner (who was alongside) when falling two out; good chance of compensation on these terms.

Soundly beaten in novice handicap chase here in sole run this term; good third off 7lb higher in this race two years ago but it's not clear whether he's still capable of the same form.
