Form & Verdict
Best efforts and best results have been dominated by races on good ground; perked up when he got good ground again at Huntingdon five weeks ago, which he needs to improve on; Tuesday's rain is the chief worry.

Not the force of old but seemed to have benefited from a wind op when close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't run as badly as 28l defeat might suggest at Perth (2m4f, good) last time, having made a mid-race jumping error; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here.

Not the force of old and the step back up in trip isn't sure to suit; however, after a wind op he returned to form with a close second off his reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, and is entitled to respect.

Form & Verdict
Made all over hurdles here (2m, good to firm) last May and remained in good form until a slight dip at Ludlow (good to soft) in October; absent since; chase debut asks one question and it looks as if he needs good ground or firmer.

Ex-Irish 6yo; well beaten over hurdles on stable debut in May but, following a break, made good start to chasing career when clear second over C&D (soft) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and will be a very tough nut to crack if in similar form.

Form & Verdict
1-13 over fences; had plenty of form in the mud over two years ago but, after a long layoff, his form in 2023 and 2024 was much better on good ground rather than softer; close third off this mark at Kelso three weeks ago and he has a good chance if repeating that form.

Has yet to build on a good third back from a break in May, although he faced a stiff task from out of the weights in a Class 2 at Uttoxeter last month; down 2lb and this is easier but he's become unreliable and others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdles winner over about 2m4f for Nicky Henderson; four starts for new yard have seen him come well down the weights and he might have needed the run last time, after four months off; makes chase debut and others inspire a bit more confidence, although there are notable chasers in his family.

Seven-race maiden; might have won at Wetherby (2m3f, good) in October on hurdles debut but for a bad late mistake; has worn headgear since and ran creditably next two starts, including on soft, before a poor show when dropped back in trip at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in April last time; needs overall improvement on this chase/handicap debut.
