Form & Verdict
His half-brother City Derby has won over an extended 2m5f and this lightly raced 5yo is one to watch in the betting now up in trip; however, he was soundly beaten in last of six on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, soft) and needs a sizeable step forward this afternoon.

J: James Davies

T: Nick Gifford

Well named as a hurdler and proving a revelation over fences, racking up six wins in his seven starts; has the canny habit of never prevailing by wide margins, with none of those wins gained by more than two lengths; unraced over this far (the same can be said for many) but he stayed on best over 3m5f at Lingfield last time (soft) and he impressed in how he moved through that race; loves the mud, so the recent rain was a major blessing.

Launched chasing career with five consecutive wins, the latest on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (3m2f, heavy) in November; could still have more improvement to come over this new trip but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing run.

Reserve; won final hurdle start last March (2m5f, heavy) and 4-4 over fences this term (heavy/soft); travelled well at Lingfield (extended 2m7f) latest and this thriving 6yo could have plenty more left in the tank; may well take a 7lb rise in his stride if handling the forecast quicker ground.

Form & Verdict
Fair third on last month's handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, soft) and built on that with easy win at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) last Thursday; he's 5lb ahead of the handicapper under a 7lb penalty and should be tough to beat.

3m6f for the NH Chase at Cheltenham last March was his only attempt beyond 3m and he was below form; that was also his last run for Venetia Williams (bought for £220,000 in October at the David Maxwell dispersal) and he's been a good third this winter in 3m handicaps here and at Ascot; needs to build on that, as he's edging up the weights, but he's not fully exposed.

Bought for £220,000 at the David Maxwell dispersal prior to running well, only 2l behind Welcom To Cartries, at Sandown (3m, good to soft) on debut for new connections; this second-season chaser likely has further progress in him; sole attempt at Ascot resulted in a success in this race 12 months ago (good ground); big player back here.

Ridden by his owner; major progress when switched to chasing this winter for small-field handicap wins over 3m at Taunton (good to soft) and Ascot (good); found his revised mark at Sandown (3m, heavy) a bit too much in hat-trick bid but again ran well and staying beyond 3m may be possible.

C&D winner who scored on his reappearance at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) last November and, after two lesser runs here, was a good second at Lingfield (2m, heavy) last month; 3lb out of the handicap today but holds each-way possibilities nevertheless.

Tailed off here (2m3f) on recent seasonal debut but some positives can be taken from that performance; now back on same mark as when scoring at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) last autumn, and it's worth remembering that his other hurdle win was in this race in 2022.

Form & Verdict
Beat none other than Apple Away in Irish mares' maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) in February 2022; then absent until this winter and she's been a fair fourth on both hurdle starts (2m3f, heavy/soft); brings potential to this handicap debut and this unexposed 7yo is one to be interested in.
