Form & Verdict
0-6 under rules but was runner-up in two Southwell chases (2m/2m4f) for new stable towards end of last season and gets another chance off the same mark here; also has form over this C&D; probably won't be far away.

Twice runner-up here (2m/2m4f) in the spring before off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May (placed horses both won two starts later); not seen since disappointing at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) the following month, but still a player on his earlier form.

Form & Verdict
Displayed huge jolt of improvement to win comfortably over C&D (soft) on chasing debut in March, then kept on for second behind revitalised mare (who has won twice since) at Hereford (2m, soft) last month; not quite in same form at Warwick last time but remains of interest.

Bold-jumping front-runner with seven wins from 18 starts over fences; ideally served by further than 2m but won over this trip at Chepstow (good to soft) in April; ran well again when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and will be the one to catch.

Took form to another new level when winning by 10l from the front at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 7-17 over fences (includes course win); today's trip-and-ground combination will also suit; respected.

Record of 5-12 for current yard; campaigned mostly at longer trips but the way he shaped over a sharp 2m2f last time (ran well on return from break) suggests this galloping 2m may not be a problem; in the mix.

Absent since below-par run on heavy ground in the autumn but returned from similar layoff to win this race in 2023; 10lb higher this time around but likely to have been primed for a bold defence of his crown.

2lb above his highest winning mark, but goes well here and his recent fourth over 2m4f here was respectable; probably needs more for the win off his current mark but should figure prominently.

4-5 since returning from long layoff this summer; kept on too strongly for Centara when back over fences here (good) last month and won another four-runner chase at Worcester (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; ought to make his presence felt again.
