11st 5lb |
Rare hurdle start these days when beaten a neck at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) before returning to fences with a respectable fourth at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft; beaten 12l); a late mistake didn't help matters last time and yet he finished his race out nicely; major player now down a grade. |

11st 11lb |
Nothing like the force of old and his only win in the last three seasons came in a two-runner hunter chase in February 2022; runner-up in a small-field handicap in December but that's probably not good enough form and he was soundly beaten 12 days ago. |

Very smart chaser three seasons ago but only win since then came in a two-runner hunter chase over C&D last February; wouldn't be the obvious answer under top weight. |

9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Smart in his prime but his only win from eight hunter chases this year (under Freddie Gingell) was in a match; however, he is well treated on his best 2022 form and was a respectable second back in a handicap at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) on his recent return after 192 days off; looks interesting if he can build on that and this step back up in trip is a positive. |

Veteran who has looked on the downgrade in three chase runs for current yard; down in class for this return to hurdles but others look safer. |

5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |

Wins on ground ranging from good to soft; won both hurdle starts here much earlier in career and dual winning pointer in Ireland last spring; creditable debut for new yard at Lingfield in December but well below best when pulled up next time; aids left off; hard to assess. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
No win since April 2019; placed in last season's Welsh Grand National and is now 29lb lower but looked badly out of sorts this winter; swapped cheekpieces for refitted blinkers at Chepstow 16 days ago and there was an upturn but he was 10l behind the winner Domaine De L'Isle so still has work to do. |

Teenager who hasn't won since April 2019; placed over C&D (soft) in last season's Welsh Grand National and is now 26lb lower but has looked badly out of sorts this winter and it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |

Fourth off 21lb higher in last season's Welsh Grand National but soundly beaten in all his completed races since; 13yo who is hard to approach with confidence at present. |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
One win in each of the last three years, the latest at Chepstow in April; not the force of old and his last three races (twice runner-up) were over hurdles but he also has the 2022 chase form to figure prominently. |

No longer thr force of old and not one to rely upon heavily but returned from break with good effort at Bangor (2m7f, good) last month and today's trip and ground combination will also suit. |
