Form & Verdict
Placed in a Grade 2 novice hurdle last season when with Michael Scudamore (same owners); made a solid start to his chase career in a first-time tongue-tie at Worcester (2m7f, good to soft) behind Broadway Boy who didn't disgrace the form last week at Cheltenham in Flooring Porter's race; should strip fitter here and be seriously involved.

Pulled up on final start last season and the same story on both this term, tried in cheekpieces on latest; 13lb below his career-high mark and reverts to hurdling (from chasing) for the first time since April 2023.

Form & Verdict
Chase career was aborted after finishing third at Cartmel in June 2022 but two runs later he won a 3m handicap hurdle at Cheltenham; perhaps found 2m4f too sharp when returning to fences at Warwick but that was nonetheless underwhelming; faces no easy task under top weight.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Nicky Henderson

Good ground suits but he's not the easiest to predict at the best of times and has run badly in all three races since his chase win at Aintree (3m1f, good) last May; had a second wind operation before penultimate start and was back hurdling for latest; well treated on best form but the chances of his reproducing it seem to be receding.

Form & Verdict
His two novice hurdle wins at Taunton were a long time ago now but he has since run well in handicaps and wasn't far off his best earlier this year for the Hobbs/White stable; goes chasing off a competitive mark and, despite changing stables, he remains in the same ownership.

Bounced back quickly from a disappointing run (in cheekpieces) to open chasing account in first-time blinkers at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; not one to rely upon heavily but recent 4lb rise ought to be manageable if he responds well to a first-time visor.

Very respectable third on seasonal/stable debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last month but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when pulled up at Ludlow three weeks ago and today's headgear switch needs to perk him up.

Has only won a maiden hurdle in Ireland, where he twice disappointed over fences; returns to this discipline with a possible fitness edge after a respectable run of form over hurdles; good ground seems ideal, however.

Dual novice hurdle winner last winter and very nearly won his handicap debut off a 3lb lower mark than today's (2m4f, soft); never gave his running the final time but he's a promising chaser in the making.

Went from the front when winning two small-field 2m5f novices (good to soft) back in early 2022 before coming up short in the 3m Grade 1 at Aintree; presumably had some training issues in the meantime but retains plenty of potential for chasing.

Three wins at up to 2m7f in novice company in 2021-2022; started in handicaps off a high mark but is now 20lb lower and still needs to step up a gear after his front-running third at Kempton (2m5f) in May in first-time cheekpieces; had wind surgery in September.
