Form & Verdict
Maiden point winner last November who was 3-3 in novice hurdles this March/April, scoring easily in all three and that includes a 2m3f race on heavy and a 3m Listed event at Perth (good to soft); so much to like about his recent chase debut at Carlisle too, until he unseated three out when travelling well upsides the winner; this is his first handicap and he gives lots of weight all round but he's a smart prospect who may well atone for that mishap.

Acts on heavy ground; the only C&D winner in this field, ran well in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham (3m) most recently and represents a trainer who landed this prize two years ago; therefore has respected credentials and cannot be dismissed.

Strong traveller who has won two small-field handicaps this season but Stay Away Fay had too much for him in 3m Sandown Grade 2 on soft ground in December; pulled up in Kauto Star at Kempton later that month on his other attempt at Graded level; playing for minor honours unless his form takes a leap forward.

Form & Verdict
Had a first stab at chasing late last year, which was shortlived, but he's been back over fences for last four starts and registered a second followed by three wins; they were all in small fields but the latest was on soft (more to prove after two runs on heavy) and this return to 3m can help.

Form & Verdict
Sent chasing in June and has won twice from four attempts in this sphere; ran well in defeat last time (August) and the ease of his 2m7f win on soft ground on penultimate start appears to give him a good shout.

Four good efforts from as many starts for current connections, though once again wasn't quite able to convert a winning opportunity at Huntingdon latest (3m1f, good to firm); fair claims off an unchanged mark, and ought to cope with any rain.

Without a win since summer 2024 and not getting any younger but runner-up three consecutive times (2m7f-3m1f; once over fences) for new stable towards end of last season; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Switched to chasing in five-runner races on soft ground for last three starts, back to form on last two occasions (3m/2m4f); off since April and in this field it's a little disconcerting that his only win came in a novice hurdle in 2020; he's also 3lb out of the handicap.
