On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate.

Reportedly aided by first-time cheekpieces when battling on well to open account at Kelso (2m1f, soft) in October, his sixth start over fences; not one to rely upon heavily but can be excused last month's Doncaster defeat (always on back foot after bad jumping error at first fence).

Form & Verdict
Regressive mare who didn't find a great deal when the chips were down at Ffos Las (2m5f, good to soft) in October and is now 0-10 over fences; continues to slide down the weights and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but still needs to up her game; visor (worn for last three races) removed.

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Easily the most experienced over fences, and a 2m4f win here (good) off 17lb higher rounded off a spring 2024 hat-trick; no successes since, however, and it's a push to say this step up to 3m has long been needed.

Completed chase hat-trick in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; May's second of three at Ludlow (2m4f, good) was encouraging but she's been soundly beaten since and was weak in the market when an early casualty over C&D last month; easy to look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Left the Greenall and Guerriero stable after some disappointing runs in the summer but, following a break, made quite promising debut for Joanne Foster at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) last month; needs to build on that performance here but has become well handicapped and the forecast less-testing ground ought to be in his favour.

2-4 over fences, the latter win gained at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in May; open to further progress as a chaser but has fitness to prove after seven-month absence and might find 2m around here too sharp.
