Form & Verdict
Placed off today's mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in March and will be suited by the faster ground here but takes on a couple of bang-in-form rivals on this first start for 167 days.

Far from solid judged on bare form this term, albeit had a physical excuse (found to have an irregular heartbeat) last time; this five-time hurdles scorer drops back in grade and is competitively treated provided he stages a revival.

Form & Verdict
Back from break with three consecutive wins in cheekpieces this season (2m7f-3m, good); not sure to be suited by today's drop back in trip but may still be on the upgrade and needs to be taken very seriously.

C&D record of 31133 includes a soft-ground win off 9lb higher almost two years ago and last month's perfectly serviceable staying-on 10l third in 0-145 company; faces an easier-looking task this afternoon.

Dual C&D winner; only win last season was a walkover in a chase; went back hurdling after that and took time to find his form, but sound placed efforts on last two starts, latest when third at Haydock in March (3m, good; first run after a wind op) when Super Survivor was well behind in eighth; chance.

6-26 over hurdles, including a win with first-time cheekpieces in this race in 2024 (soft) and he is 1lb lower today; ridden by 7lb claimer last four outings, with a big return to some form on latest (second at Market Rasen) and that has been followed by his second wind operation; cheekpieces (absent on last four starts) return; too well handicapped to be ignored.

Form & Verdict
Left clear at final flight for huge-margin win at Uttoxter (2m4f, heavy) in July and now 3-5 over hurdles; nudged up only 1lb for that success and remains unexposed at this trip; good ground also suits; likely contender.

Last of three wins over hurdles was over 2m4f here (heavy; has also won on good) in July 2023 when she was left clear; confined to only two runs in the meantime and now returns from mammoth absence; likely best watched.
