Form & Verdict
Could still jump better, but last month's C&D second (good to soft) rates a personal best under rules and underlines he's plenty to offer in staying chases at the right level; live claims off just 1lb higher.

Got on a roll last winter when completing a hat-trick (3m/3m3f) before a respectable, albeit remote, second in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft); this race is a suitable fit but he now has to prove himself worthy of this high a mark.

Form & Verdict
Lost his all-the-way C&D success of 14 days ago (good to soft) due to whip misuse, but still raised 5lb to a new career-high mark; held by Brandisova on their Fakenham clash of last March; slower ground not a plus.

Takes on possible improvers in this field; otherwise a solid candidate who has five chase wins on his CV, the most recent off current mark in this race 12 months ago; last two efforts show he's back in form; respected.

Scored for the fifth time over fences when taking a Wetherby handicap (3m, good) just under a year ago; made a solid return in November and he was back down to that last winning mark when bumping into an improver at Southwell (about 3m1f, soft) three weeks ago; contender.

Scored for the fifth time over fences when taking a Wetherby handicap (3m, good) in March; back down to that mark but his last two efforts have been uninspiring; needs a revival but that's not out of the question.

Form & Verdict
Over 4l clear of Mixedwave when scoring at Fakenham in March (good to soft), and just 1lb worse off today; good return at Lingfield until the lack of a run found her out, but won't want to jump left as much here.

Form & Verdict
Rangy sort who jumped for fun in making a winning chasing debut at Uttoxeter 11 days ago (2m4f, heavy), and the penalised mark pales next to the RPR of 115 he ran to; new trip (almost 3m1f factoring in rail adjustments) asks a question, but he ticks many boxes otherwise.

Reappeared with a win at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and 8l second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) since behind a rejuvenated winner; has won on soft/heavy ground; could give another good account.

Form & Verdict
3m-plus and the deepest ground are his optimum requirements; big absences either side of his New Year's Eve Uttoxeter win under Harriet Tucker, but a mark higher than any defied since April 2018 concerns more.

Lengthy absences either side of his Uttoxeter win under Harriet Tucker in late 2022; pulled up in his two subsequent runs and hard to know what he'll make of a visor (replacing blinkers).
