Form & Verdict
5-10 at Worcester, and no shame in finding things too much from well out of the weights in a de facto 0-160 chase here last month (C&D); 2lb lower than for June's C&D chase win, and no ground issues.

Four good efforts from as many starts for current connections, though once again wasn't quite able to convert a winning opportunity at Huntingdon latest (3m1f, good to firm); fair claims off an unchanged mark, and ought to cope with any rain.

Without a win since summer 2024 and not getting any younger but runner-up three consecutive times (2m7f-3m1f; once over fences) for new stable towards end of last season; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
On the go since February but not flagging, winning three (2m3f-2m6f, good) and setting a new peak RPR last time; still hitting the line strongly, so the 8lb rise for his latest Fontwell score concerns the most.

The winner of two bumpers and three hurdles; likes good ground; jumped well on recent chase debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) and was beaten just over 3l; that was after 202 days away, so there is good reason to believe he can improve again.

Form & Verdict
Last month's all-the-way Cartmel win (2m6f, heavy) on stable debut garnered a new personal best RPR on his 18th hurdles start; back on a mark he's been held off in the past, but confidence high and no ground issues.

Won over C&D (good to soft) in April 2023 and returned to form to win on stable debut at Cartmel (2m6f, heavy) last August; however, two lesser runs have followed and he needs to get back on track after a break.

Dual mares' novice winner (2m2.5f, good and 2m5f, soft) in the 2022-23 season and not overraced since; ready for this long a trip if last time's Stratford fourth is any guide, and she's on an ever tastier mark.
