Form & Verdict
Having shown promise in chases previously (including on heavy ground), he got off the mark at the seventh attempt over fences at Hereford (2m, good) a fortnight ago; that race fell apart somewhat and others here probably have greater potential, but he's unexposed in the hood and is not ruled out.

Three-time hurdle winner who was a promising second on last month's chase debut at Ayr (2m, good to soft) when back from a break; ran well on soft earlier in career; open to improvement over fences and one to consider.

Made the most of a reduced mark to snap his losing run over 2m4f at Newcastle (good) and a 4lb rise should be workable if he can repeat that performance; has held his form in the past.

21 months since his last win, an authoritative one in the Perth Silver Cup (2m4f, good to firm; from 5lb higher); beaten 26l, 16l and 14l respectively in three runs since April 2025; good ground is ideal, so probably worth considering with his trainer in such fine form.

On a competitive mark on best form but lacks recent match practice and needs to prove he retains peak ability; below-par fourth in two starts last year, both in the spring; absent since.

Form & Verdict
Bumper and two-time novice hurdle winner (all on good/good to soft) who left last month's chase debut well behind when runner-up at Wetherby (1m7f) last time, on soft ground that may not have been ideal; there can be optimism he'll continue to progress over fences and he could have a big say.

Triple hurdle winner and chase winner (2m4f), on good or slower; that chase win came readily on his penultimate start, at Southwell; unable to back that up after a 7lb rise and step up in grade at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) latest; still well treated on his winning effort, if he can repeat it.

Form & Verdict
His form went the wrong way over hurdles but he looked as good as ever when winning easily on his chase debut over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago; back up 7lb he remains well treated on his best hurdle form (including on soft ground) and he has a good record here; strong claims.
