Just 1-20 over hurdles but unexposed over fences and posted good effort when placed off today's mark at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; good ground also suits; up in grade but could have a say.

Four chase wins, the latest off today's mark in this race a year ago (good ground); absent since some below-par efforts on slower-than-ideal ground towards end of 2025 and not getting any younger but booking of Sean Bowen drops strong hint he'll be primed for a bold defence.

Only ever a winner between April and July, but one of only two previous visits here netted him a C&D success off 15lb higher and he's got the trip and ground that suit once again; certainly respected.

Form & Verdict
Enjoyed the chance to dominate over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) in June but, in general terms, has become disappointing; well beaten when switched back to hurdling three weeks ago; cheekpieces given a whirl here; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Nine-time chase winner who has largely been in good form this year and is still on a workable mark; made brave bid from the front at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and today's drop back in trip won't be a problem; must be considered.

Veteran who gained four of his 14 wins here (one over C&D); ran much better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest on slower-than-ideal ground at Cartmel (2m1f good to soft) a fortnight ago; worth a second look here, even from 4lb out of the weights.
