Form & Verdict
Failed to deliver on bumper promise over hurdles last season but, with cheekpieces fitted, has made a good start to chasing career; ridden out to score by just over 3l at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and has plenty of scope for further progress; major player, albeit with a concern if the ground is worse than good.

Form & Verdict
Yet to build upon his winning chase debut at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) in November but ran well for a long way when third here (2m, good) in first-time visor three weeks ago and is another 2lb lower today; probably worth another crack at 2m4f; seems best on good ground.

T: Martin Keighley

Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor.

Dictated pace when scoring at Southwell (2m) in June but came in a well-held third of four off 9lb higher mark in 2m handicap chase at Newton Abbot three weeks ago; needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Looked as good as ever when winning at Stratford (2m3f, heavy; also suited by good) in April, his sixth chase success, but three lesser efforts have followed and he's not an easy one to predict.

Form & Verdict
Returned from a break with two very disappointing performances in May but, following a wind op, fared much better when third at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and should cope if the ground softens; must be considered.

Eight-race maiden for four different yards and he was pulled up over fences (2m4f) and hurdles (3m) in his two runs last year; tongue-tie is now added and he has a lot to prove after another absence.
