Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 7yo who won a maiden hurdle last spring and is faring better over fences, the only one to finish at Fontwell in December; a promising winner had to work hard to get past him at Exeter since (2m3f, heavy); up 3lb but should have plenty going for him.

Resumed with victory at Exeter (2m3f) in November and in good form until pulled up in 2m3f handicap chase at Fontwell ten days ago; this course winner is the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear, though.

Did well for cheekpieces going on last year, winning three times at 2m3f-2m5f, latterly off 3lb lower, and going a stone and a half up the weights; 2m7f looked to find him out at Newbury last month and this is less competitive back down in trip; holds decent claims.

All good since the cheekpieces went on, winning three times (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); kept on well for third off today's mark at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) last month and returning to further looks the right move.

Suited by the return to 2m when winning two of his first three chases; ran well in defeat at Sandown (1m7f, soft) last month when chasing home a good subsequent winner but he struggled on heavy ground next time and stamina queried back at 2m4f.

Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning.

Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday.

Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player.

Form & Verdict
Won 2m6f hurdle in his younger days but both chase wins were over 2m (soft and good to soft); hard to gauge his current level as he finished remote on debut for new yard at Aintree and unseated too far out next time to know how he would have fared; at least the drop in grade is welcome.

20l behind Force De Frap at Stratford in March, but significant return to form at Bangor since, just failing to get up in time (2m1f, soft); still well treated on 2023's winning form despite a 3lb re-raise, and just a matter of whether a sharp 2m on good is too much of a speed test now.

Won two out of three completions over hurdles for new yard last season, the latest in a 2m2f handicap (soft) off this mark; never looked like winning on Newbury chase debut (2m, soft) but it was still an encouraging start and he's entitled to come on for it; more appeal than most.

Both hurdle wins at 2m on heavy; handily weighted on best 2m4f form last winter and the signs were more positive on his third start for this yard, when beaten about 3l over C&D last month; ran well in his only other course start (over hurdles) and a likely player.
