Stepped up to this sort of trip for last four starts and won three of them, from the front at Southwell and Doncaster on last two occasions; those were all in pretty small fields, he has more to prove on soft ground (he did win a bumper on it to start career) and has been raised another 7lb, but this 6yo also has more to offer as a stayer.

Hard to predict and has struggled over fences and hurdles in last two runs, but she scored in this sphere at Sedgefield (about 2m, soft) in November; has possibilities if she can recapture that form and she's still unexposed as a chaser.

Came good over hurdles at fifth attempt, with clearcut success at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) in January; well beaten (albeit in better race than this) last month, though, and may not be ideally suited by this quicker ground.

Ridden by Aamilah Aswat in his last five races; he's won the last two, though a 19l margin of victory at Newbury last time (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) provided the handicapper with the ammunition to hit him with a 10lb hike; he still rates a likely contender as a 6yo firmly on the up.

Not yet off the mark but the step up to 3m didn't work for him last month and he was rarely far away over similar trips to today's in 2025 (on soft and good ground); probably needs some weight off his back though.
