W: 11st 9lb

7 yo Gelding

OR: 94

Form & Verdict
Won easily at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in January; he needs to prove he can win off his increased mark but has run well in defeat the last twice (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft/soft) and should be thereabouts.

J: Harry Kimber

T: Robert Walford

Dual winner here (including C&D) who was second in this in 2024; built on seasonal debut when third over C&D (soft) in December but jumped right and disappointed at Exeter last time; contender to bounce back returned to this venue.

Form & Verdict
Has won three times this season (good to soft/good), the latest over C&D in January; good third at Ludlow (2m, soft) next time; below par over this C&D since but no surprise if he bounces back with a good run.

Six-time chase winner whose form dipped in May/June and he fared little better over hurdles three weeks ago; should be sharper for that now back over fences but needs to find some spark.

Six-time chase winner (once here); competes off lower mark on this rare hurdling start but was not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring and needs to have been refreshed by three-month break.

Two wins in 2023, at Southwell in February (2m, good) and over C&D in April (good to soft); not fared quite so well since although signs of a return to form when third over C&D last time (soft); on a good mark now and not out of it.

Form & Verdict
Below par the last twice and particularly disappointing at Taunton last month when making it 0-10; however, perhaps the first-time hood will help and a case can be made judged on his close third at Doncaster (2m, good) last November; also effective on soft ground.
