Form & Verdict
Useful back in the day when trained by Noel Meade and was winning his third point when making all at Charing this month; however, the balance of his form this past year suggests he might find at least one too good.

Form & Verdict
Last seen under rules pulling up in the hunter chase at last season's Cheltenham Festival for which he was 100-1 despite winning the time before at Leicester (2m6f, soft); good run in his latest point three weeks ago when a close third behind respected opposition; should go well.

Rarely seen under rules in recent seasons but is a dual point winner this year, more recently when leading close home in good-ground Cothelstone open this month; beaten about 5l by Peacocks Secret at Fakenham (3m, good) two starts ago but is 5lb better off with him here; not ruled out.

Four-time chase winner in France; has not remotely hit the same heights in Britain apart from when a half-decent fifth in a Ffos Las hunter chase just over a year ago; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Very smart at about 3m in his day but lost his way for Noel Meade; joined current connections for £48,000 but he ran moderately in a hunter chase at Taunton before pulling up last week at Sandown (lost action); clearly has a bit to prove but this is very weak.
