Point winner; 2-3 in handicap hurdles, most recently winning at Wincanton (2m4f) last Novermber; should make a chaser and looks open to further progress; interesting on reappearance. |

Made the frame in all three handicap hurdles for Brian Barr, most recently when fourth at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last spring; returned from layoff with two underwhelming AW runs in January but it will be interesting to see how he fares now back over hurdles on debut for Richard Newland. |

Bumper winner who is 0-5 over hurdles and 0-8 on Flat; did make a respectable return from a 222-day break when fourth in novice company at Kempton (1m4f) a fortnight ago and more realistic chance back in a handicap; cheekpieces go on for the first time. |

Four-time winner over fences including here (about 2m 3f, good) in 2024; last ran over hurdles when second at Wincanton (about 3m, good to soft) and he returns to this sphere after a couple of errors at Plumpton last month; respected. |

Four-time chase winner (2m3f/3m1f) in 2023 and 2024, two of them here, and shaped promisingly on hurdles return in December after a long absence; left behind a below-par run over fences later that month with a short-head defeat at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; back up 2lb but needs respecting with course form. |

Won three out of four chases in October-December 2024 (including C&D, good to soft; handles softer) and was an encouraging second over hurdles here (about 3m) on his comeback from a year's absence; return to fences didn't go well at Taunton later that month but could bounce back following two months off. |

Overall strike-rate of 1-28 and the win came over fences; 0-18 over hurdles and has to bounce back from some shoddy efforts; in cheekpieces and a visor for the last two and now goes in blinkers. |

Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures. |

About 17l behind Belgarum when third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) on recent chasing debut but significant positives can be drawn from that performance and he's 11lb better off with that rival here; contender if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

Four wins overall, all on good ground and both of those over hurdles were at Uttoxeter in July 2021, latterly in this race; last two runs have been in the same Plumpton handicap in May 12 months apart, finishing runner-up and fourth; case can be made but others bring more persuasive recent evidence. |
