Still finished well behind the winner, but performed a bit better when fourth of 14 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in January, shaping as though a return to further might suit; each-way claims.

Good second in major handicap at Kempton (2m5f) in January, putting a few non-completions (fences/hurdles) behind him; has performed below market expectations in two starts since but is a likely player provided he bounces back with usual hood removed.

Six wins in 2024 but out of luck since; only third in this race last year but a sterling effort when runner-up in the Lanzarote over C&D in January off this mark and he'll be better off back at this trip after the race didn't pan out for him at Musselburgh (3m) since; respected.

Back hurdling for last two starts, coming a cropper again on first occasion (hampered) but second of 15 from the back in the Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f, good; has won on soft/heavy) nine days later; progressive when he does complete and he showed at Aintree last April that he stays 3m; player.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in an Irish point; hinted at ability in three starts over hurdles this time last year and again on his return from 192 days off when fourth of 14 on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October; returns from another five months off in a first-time tongue-tie, but the longer trip should suit and he remains unexposed.

If the ground is bordering on good then this 8yo could take some beating as he hosed up at Warwick last month (3m, good) on his second run after a break; the 8lb rise isn't the end of the world.

Following a break he reverted to fences at Kempton (3m) 12 days ago and returned to form with a 3l second on his favoured good ground; that performance reads well and he's high on the list today.

Can go well fresh; returns from a break on a favourable mark, just 1lb higher than his latest chase win, at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; bled from the nose when tailed off over hurdles in October so wellbeing unknown but has possibilities, especially if the ground is good.

Form & Verdict
3lb lower than when successful at Ffos Las (2m6f, good to soft) last April but has lost her way lately, failing to complete in two starts over fences in the autumn and running poorly back over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in January; enough to prove.

Form & Verdict
Placed in his first two handicaps late last year including when beaten a neck at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in December, but has twice blown out on soft/heavy over 2m/2m4f since (tongue tied last time); still has stamina to prove and wouldn't want much more rain.

Dual 2025 point winner around stayers' tracks, and present season's best effort similarly came around Lockinge's galloping line last time, so may not appreciate Warwick as much as some; sound surface fine.
