Form & Verdict
Things clicked with a win here (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago on his third start over fences; he should be fine now back on slower ground and back up in trip, and this lightly raced 7yo could have more to offer.

The way he asserted in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) last February made this race look an appealing proposition, but he faded badly when it was put to the test and later lost the Haydock race due to a banned substance; this season has been very disappointing but at least he's 9lb lower than 12 months ago and his yard has been in great form.

Very useful handicapper over regulation fences on his day and a very respectable sixth in last year's Ultima (3m1f, good to soft) at this meeting; won't fail through lack of stamina but has been out of form this season and makes cross-country debut from 11lb out of the handicap.

T: Nicky Richards

Useful over fences, first past the post in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (disqualified due to banned substance) in February and far from disgraced in the Ultima at Cheltenham the following month; having his first hurdles outing since April 2022 here, so carries risks, but he could be dangerous off his lower mark if fully tuned up.

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten third of five on chase debut at Chepstow in January and could do with jumping with greater fluency; however, he may have needed that first run since last March and is on a competitive mark on his best hurdle form; useful pedigree offers hope for fences and he's not ruled out.

Useful handicapper in his prime and versatile regarding ground; badly out of form under rules last season but easily won five-runner point on latest outing in March, and it will be interesting to see whether he enjoys a new lease of life in hunter chases.

Progressive over hurdles in winter 2021-22, winning twice (2m3f, good to soft/soft); further improvement is possible but he's making his chase debut after an absence of 400 days, and he'll need to be better than ever.

Form & Verdict
He was tackling 3m for the first time when a comfortable winner at Doncaster (good) 18 days ago; goes up in grade here but he's unexposed over staying trips and may be able to take a 7lb rise in his stride; won over hurdles on soft ground and he figures highly in calculations.
