Form & Verdict
Near-5l Taunton fourth last month is a clear best since returning from almost two years out; unsure this 4f drop in trip rates a plus, but as a winner off 6lb higher in 2022 he's unarguably well treated now.

Gained three of his four chasing wins here and seems very versatile regarding trips but ended last season with two disappointing efforts and needs to be perked up by a change of headgear today.

J: Caoilin Quinn

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Four wins and two seconds from 11 races at Fontwell; his last success was off this mark over an extended 2m3f in September but he's been well held in all three runs since and needs a major revival; stablemate of All Authorized.

Form & Verdict
Had a bit go his way when successful at Huntingdon in March (pace collapse and others' errors), but last week's Hereford third consolidated that form; more needed, but hasn't had many goes over 2m2f-plus.

Off the mark over fences in a novice handicap at Huntingdon in March (2m, good); fair efforts over fences last twice; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Last time's 2l third in a 2m3.5f 0-100 here (good) is his most affirmative statement for current yard; needs to prove able to back that up, but remains splendidly treated on his peak Irish form despite a 2lb re-raise.

Form & Verdict
Some hope on breeding for the switch to fences, but less so the three heavy hurdling defeats he enters this contest off the back of (handicap debut latest); 4lb drop not sufficiently persuasive.

Low-mileage 5yo; soundly beaten on chasing debut in May but shaped with more promise when keeping on steadily from the rear for fourth at Fakenham (2m, good) last month, having been hampered by a faller and made two notable jumping errors; moves up in trip today; may have more to offer.
