Form & Verdict
Won his first two handicaps (at about 3m; good to soft) before finding an in-form rival too strong when raised in class at Ascot (good); nudged up 3lb for that defeat but his progress since handicapping has been hard to knock.

Form & Verdict
The first-time blinkers triggered a positive response when returning to winning ways in a 2m5f heavy-ground handicap at Exeter, for which a 5lb rise is fair; wouldn't be certain to repeat that form but fair claims if he can (no ground issues).

Front-runner who won twice over hurdles at this track (2m5f, soft/heavy) early last year; despite mistakes, he returned with a good second back over fences at Fontwell (3m3f, good), but then had another off-day back over hurdles a month ago; not entirely sure what to expect from him.

Form & Verdict
French bumper winner who won a Huntingdon maiden hurdle last season; may have found the ground too soft last time after making a pleasing reappearance back at Huntingdon; unraced beyond 2m2f so this is a significant rise in distance.

Evidently not the force of old but he built on an encouraging C&D reappearance when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in February; made early mistakes when a disappointing favourite at Hereford since but it's possible he'll be happier back on a left-handed course and likely he's still on a winnable mark if putting his best foot forward.
