Form & Verdict
Good third over C&D (good to soft) in December and bounced back from Wincanton flop (3m1f, heavy) with convincing win at Huntingdon four weeks ago (2m7f, good to soft; off 7lb lower); today's return to testing ground poses a question but he's a strong candidate if repeating that latest form.

Pulled up at Southwell (3m, heavy) in April when last seen but went there on a four-timer (good to soft-heavy, including C&D); no surprise if he rediscovers his progressive ways following a break; watch the market.

Form & Verdict
Absent since soundly beaten at Taunton last March on final run for Christian Williams, which made it 0-7 under rules; however, before that he was a promising third on chase debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good) and he was runner-up in a 3m point in 2021 (yielding to soft); his new trainer can ready one after a layoff and he's an interesting contender, all the more so if well backed.

Won his final two starts last season and he made it 3-8 over fences when completing a hat-trick over 3m1f at Wincanton (the vet reported he was treated for post-race ataxia) on his comeback in February; up another 4lb but he seems versatile ground-wise and is open to more progress as a staying chaser; key player.

T: Venetia Williams

Made his breakthrough in a chase handicap at Leicester (2m6f, soft) last January and he completed a double at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) the following month; has been absent since then but he still looks feasibly treated and should have more to offer in this sphere; needs a close look on comeback.

Form & Verdict
11yo who is inconsistent nowadays and was merely fifth at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) last month, but he's been runner-up on two of his last four starts, at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) last March and here (2m4f, good to soft) in December, and he's not ruled out.

2-21 over fences, the latest win in January 2021; twice a runner-up on heavy ground last March but pulled up both starts since; probably needed the run last time after 235 days off and he now has a career-low mark, but others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up in first three handicaps last year (including chase debut in December) but got back on track in first-time blinkers at Leicester (2m4f, soft) last month, rallying for third; this 3m point winner could build on that latest run now back up in trip if the headgear maintains its effect.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up at Chepstow three weeks ago but the heavy ground may have been too much; in good form previously, including front-running wins in November at Stratford (2m6f, soft) and over this C&D (good to soft), and no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance today.
