Form & Verdict
Improved form for new stable on final two starts last season, more recently when close fourth on handicap debut at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; will be on the premises if also suited by today's trip-and-ground combination.

Placed in three consecutive chases during the winter (2m7f-3m, good to soft) but this first hurdling start since March 2024 comes after a five-month break, so his fitness must be taken on trust.

Creditable third over C&D (good to soft) in December, after a wind op, and probably bettered that performance when filling same position at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and seems likely to be right in the thick of things again.

Form & Verdict
Course bumper winner who has finished second on the last four of his five hurdling starts (2m3f-2m7f); untested on ground any quicker than good to soft or over quite this far but is likely to be right in the thick of things again.

Scored twice over fences early last year (once on heavy); 0-10 over hurdles but runner-up in eight of those, including at Warwick (3m2f, soft) on latest start when he blundered at the final flight but looked booked for second anyway; this race looks too tough.

Form & Verdict
Close second in Class 5 handicap at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in January and probably ran to similar level when filling same position in recent Haydock maiden (2m3f, good to soft); not bred to benefit from today's step up in trip but her form puts her right in the mix on these terms.

Threatened off higher marks as a hurdler but she remains a maiden and has been tailed off in two runs since returning from a break; looks worth taking on now sent over fences for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Fair handicap chaser who has finished second on his last six starts over fences (2m3f-3m1f); not seen over hurdles since his debut in France in 2020 and unraced on ground quicker than good to soft but ought to be very competitive in this.

1-37 and still surprisingly error-prone despite so much chasing experience, leaving his mark on several fences en route to a 8l C&D fourth latest (good); frame finish probable but hard to predict better even off this career-low mark whilst the mistakes remain; cheekpieces return.

Extremely hard to win with, having won only one of his 34 races over fences and runner-up on 13 of those occasions; even if he jumps better than last time (beaten 18l), he'll probably find a way to come up short; a rare run without any form of headgear.

Brother to fairly useful Irish hurdler Pass The Ball; dam of little account but half-sister to smart Irish chaser Cane Brake and two other useful jumpers; has fairly good standard to reach on this belated debut and is entitled to learn from the experience.
