Form & Verdict

Dual course winner on slow ground last season (2m5f/3m2f); not quite at best on two starts this term and was behind Record High when fourth here on Boxing Day but has possibilities if perked up by change of headgear.

Form & Verdict
Patchy form in 2021-22 season and absent since; 5lb out of the handicap on this return but he was a two-time chase winner in March 2021 and is one to watch in the betting on stable debut (formerly with Paul Henderson).

Ran big race in defeat behind next-time-out winner at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) on stable debut in November, after a long absence, and was going okay until jolting jumping error knocked the stuffing out of him at third-last fence at Hereford (2m5f, good) the following month; remains very much of interest.

J: Freddie Gordon

Dual chase winner; 5lb out of the weights and having first run for 658 days when only conceding late on over 2m5f at Fontwell (heavy); good to soft is fine but the dreaded 'bounce' enters the equation.

Form & Verdict
5yo who runs off a mark 4lb lower than when winning over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in April; it's possible he'll build upon his chase debut seventh at Plumpton a fortnight ago, but he needs to.

Won over C&D in April 2023 and a chase here in April 2024; however, he's struggled this season following a long absence, including at this course on three occasions; 4lb out of the handicap; major turnaround needed.

J: Ben Smith

T: Seamus Mullins

Returned from a long layoff with some disappointing efforts this season but took a step back in the right direction over hurdles at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January, where he put in a good front-running shift before tiring; now 1lb lower than when winning comfortably by 13l over C&D (good) in April 2024 and enters calculations; cheekpieces (worn for last two races) removed.

Form & Verdict
Hampered and unseated at the second fence on recent reappearance at Warwick; enjoyed a good first chasing campaign last season, featuring two wins (2m4f/2m, good to soft/soft), and he's one to consider.
