Five-time hurdle winner who made the frame in all three chases, most recently when third in Durham National at Sedgefield (3m5f, soft) last October; has fitness to prove here, though, and is not favoured by the weights.

Inconsistent this season and well beaten by Dripsey Moon at Perth last month, but he won twice in the summer (2m4f/2m5f, good) and pushed Tommie Beau close at Cartmel (3m1f, heavy) in August; has run well over an extended 3m3f in the past and he's not discounted.

Easily reeled in and was pulled up after blasting off in front at Market Rasen a fortnight ago (well backed), and has now failed to complete all four races this year; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D but needs to get career back on track.

Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; prevailed by 1l at Cartmel (3m1f) most recently, registering his 16th win; has form figures of 134 in this race, beaten a long way 12 months ago; returns off 8lb lower but some of his younger rivals may hold sway.

Popular veteran who runs this track well and capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in May; back up in trip after very respectable fourth over hurdles here (2m6f, good) last month, and won't object to the forecast rain (won this race on heavy ground in 2024); must be considered.

Popular veteran who runs this track well and capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in May; this drop back in trip is not ideal on his return to hurdling, though; cheekpieces (worn for last three races) left off today.

0-8 over fences and has come nowhere near to matching his very useful hurdle form; however, this Irish raider is well treated on his hurdle exploits and is one to watch in the betting; also declared 3.50 Limerick.

Form & Verdict
Won three times over hurdles for Willie Mullins last year and he's well treated on that form; made stable debut over hurdles at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago (soundly beaten) and could improve for that first outing since May, but jumping has been an issue over fences; sometimes wears cheekpieces and now has visor first time; something to prove.

Unproven beyond 2m4f and below par on last few jumps starts in the summer; however, following a break, he produced a strong staying performance to win on the Flat at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) recently and he's well handicapped on last winter's chase form; effective on good ground; interesting.
