Form & Verdict
Career-best efforts came in winning back-to-back early last year, the C&D novice handicap on this very card (good) and then a 2m4f handicap at Sandown off today's mark; beaten about 10l+ in his three starts this campaign but no surprise were he to figure strongly.

Regressive 10yo who has not won since February 2023; ran fairly well when second of five over C&D (good) in May but was well held in the end, and was pulled up when reverting to hurdles in July; others have more appealing profiles.

Nothing wrong with his current mark if rediscovering his competitive chase form from two seasons ago but his struggles continued when reportedly making a noise at Chepstow in October; capable but risky.

Very capable off this sort of mark when with Paul Nicholls; still only a 9yo and he won a hunter chase in Ireland this summer before pulling up in last month's Velka Pardubicka, which horses tend to either love or loathe; others appeal more but wouldn't put a line through him.

Form & Verdict
Was 2-3 over fences heading into last season's Scottish National and he ran a cracker to finish third off 2lb higher; was never on an even keel when below form at Ascot in October but could easily bounce back from that; he's quick enough to cope with 3m around here.

Useful hurdler despite failing to win a race and it's been a similar story in coming up short on both his chase starts this season; has races in him off this mark and perhaps 3m can unlock some improvement.

Placed off 7lb higher mark in stronger race than this at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in November but was pulled up on next two outings and was last of four (albeit not beaten far) when cheekpieces were added for latest run; now 0-15 under all codes and needs to up his game; drops back in trip with visor tried today.

Form & Verdict
Respected on his second to Killer Kane on this card 12 months ago, after which he went one better at Ffos Las; not so good this campaign but he's had wind surgery since pulling up at Newbury and cheekpieces replace a tongue-tie; may revive.

Maiden hurdler but 3-5 over fences and wasn't far away under a patient ride over 2m6f at Uttoxeter when last seen in October 2021; returns off a 2lb lower mark and, if fit enough after his layoff, he should be thereabouts; stays 3m.

Form & Verdict
Unraced over this far but he looked stronger the further he went when dotting up in a 2m4f handicap (soft) here in November; good ground is fine and, although 9lb higher for this, Caoilin Quinn's claim deals with 5lb of that; respected.

Seen much more often on good ground than many of these, winning twice; first attempt much beyond 2m5f was at Kempton (3m; joint-second favourite) on latest start but he unseated at the first; 16l win there (2m4f, soft; 9lb higher today) the time before gave plenty of hope regarding stamina, so he's one to consider.
