Last five defeats have been over fences when he had jumping issues; novice winner over hurdles and has dipped to a career-low mark; not the most solid option here but commands some respect.

Form & Verdict
Placed in her first two handicaps and then got off the mark under a positive ride at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good); returns off a very fair 4lb higher mark, and perhaps a greater concern would be that good ground seems to suit her well.

Won over C&D in 2023 and is well handicapped on some of last year's form; took step back in right direction when third of five at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in April but her run at Southwell a fortnight later was disappointing and she takes on a couple of in-form mares here.

Form & Verdict
Seemingly better for the tongue-tie when a well-backed winner from 4lb out of the weights on stable debut at Stratford (2m6f, good) and made the most of being 4lb lower at Hereford (2m5f, good to firm); had to dig pretty deep the last time and he's now 9lb higher, while softer ground is a grey area.

Won in October on first two starts for yard (about 2m6f, good/good to firm) before fair third at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) and he's returned to winning ways the last twice (3m/2m7f, good); he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good but he's clearly thriving and his winning spree may well continue if conditions aren't an issue.

Hasn't offered a great deal in four hurdle starts (one handicap) since returning from a year out but those were over trips from 2m to 2m2f and this 3m point winner is ready for this stiffer stamina test; respected.

Just a respectable fifth at Ludlow (2m5f, good; only run for Fergal O'Brien) in May and now 0-6 over hurdles but, having changed hands for £4,000, it will be interesting to see what Robbie Llewellyn can do with him; tongue-tie removed after one use.

C&D winner in March and followed that with a near miss at Southwell (off 2lb lower); was perhaps ready for a break when off colour the last time and could be a factor.

Ended last season in good form, most notably when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft); made a satisfactory reappearance last month but dropped out very quickly after making the running at Market Rasen on latest outing and needs to put that performance behind her; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Won three times over hurdles last season for Gary Moore (same owners); his latest campaign never went to plan but he's back on a good mark and his new trainer had a stable debutant win here on Monday; stays this far; goes in a new headgear combination; a lively one.

Became disappointing for Gary Moore last season (often racing lazily) and was safely held on stable debut at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November; subsequent wind op might have helped but others look less risky.
