Form & Verdict
Record of 3-11 over fences; having first run after wind surgery when an impressive 14l winner at Ludlow in January (3m1f, soft), for which a 7lb hit could have been worse; seems best caught fresh so firmly enters the reckoning, for all that she would prefer softer conditions.

Best form has been at 2m4f and he didn't appear to stay 3m2f at Newton Abbot on his penultimate run; made mistakes when well below par last time (3m) and it could be a long way home for him over this far, no matter what effect the cheekpieces have.

7lb lower than when beaten only 7l into third in this 12 months ago (good to soft) and his placed effort at Warwick in March, on second run after wind surgery, was on a par with that; he was returning from a similar absence last year and is capable of going close.

Form & Verdict
Found plenty of improvement during his novice season, winding up with back-to-back handicap wins at Taunton (2m7f/3m4f); made a perfectly satisfactory return behind a sharp improver over 2m5f at Ascot, and easy to envisage him finding something on that form in this more suitable race; big player.

J: Mr Darren Andrews

T: Mrs J Boucher

Useful handicap chaser in his prime but very lightly raced in recent years; remote when third of seven at Taunton (2m7f, heavy; behind Haven't Time) last month and current ability remains tricky to gauge but he ought to be better suited by the less testing ground here and might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces.

Only a second outing since his bet365 Gold Cup third of two years ago when fourth in a 3m4f Cothelstone mixed open last month (good; no extra 2 out); couldn't insist his present rating is still warranted on that evidence but some ability clearly remains, and he won't mind any cut.

Pulled up in the Grand National on final run of last season and he was tailed off on his return to Aintree over hurdles four weeks ago; however, staying chases around here are more his bag and he very nearly won this 12 months ago off just a 2lb lower mark; following another near miss in February he has form figures here of 1122.
