Form & Verdict
Point/hurdles/bumper winner who got off the mark over fences on stable debut at Carlisle last time (3m2f, good to soft; first run after wind surgery); stiffer task off this 5lb higher mark and this is a very different track, but worth considering.

The final leg of his four-timer for Brian Ellison two winters back was this race off 4lb lower than today; never fired on all cylinders last term but reappeared for new yard in November with a sparkling win, employing new tactics as he made all at Carlisle to come home 9l clear; back up 8lb, so needs to be back at his very best, but he's one for the shortlist.

Has had a patchy campaign and was pulled up in the Midland National last time; however, he showed some spark at Musselburgh (3m7f, good to soft) in February and is just 1lb higher than when winning the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, heavy) last season; not ruled out now back down in trip/grade.

Winning pointer and a dual winner over hurdles (1m7f, 2m5f; soft/heavy); yet to score in nine tries over fences and has failed to finish in two runs this season after having wind surgery (jumped poorly on first occasion, weakened quickly in testing ground last time); bit to prove.

Useful handicapper in his prime and versatile regarding ground; badly out of form under rules last season but easily won five-runner point on latest outing in March, and it will be interesting to see whether he enjoys a new lease of life in hunter chases.

Blinkers are turned to after finishing tailed off a month ago and her previous thirds were no great advertisement for her prospects here; probably wants softer ground as well.

Third in a quite valuable Hereford mares' chase (3m1f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in December and also ran well when filling same position in Bangor marathon (3m5f, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the quicker ground here but still respected.

Third over 3m1f at Hereford last time (soft; first-time cheekpieces), making the frame in that handicap for the second successive season; consistent but perhaps doesn't win as often as she should (1-15 over fences and runner-up five times); unraced beyond about 3m1f.

Has won a bumper and three of his seven races over hurdles; hasn't done quite as well over fences but fair run when 17l fourth over 2m5f here on his reappearance when having first run since wind surgery; first run at this trip and first run for new yard; quite interesting.

Winning pointer (3m, good) who won his first two starts over hurdles in 2022 (both over 2m3f on good ground); decent fourth on chase debut over 2m4f at Cheltenham in October (good) but lesser run at Exeter last time (3m, good to soft); has potential but soft ground not ideal and best rules form is over shorter.

Useful in his prime for Henry Daly but left that yard on a low note; soundly beaten in chases on his first two starts for this stable but took a step back in the right direction returned to hurdles in first-time blinkers when rallying third of eight over the extended 2m4f at Plumpton (good to soft) 23 days ago; needs to prove he can build on that with the blinkers left off in favour of refitted cheekpieces.
