Form & Verdict
2-4 over hurdles, both wins at around 2m, one of them here; has not quite reached the same level over fences, although he was far from disgraced (slow jump halfway, hampered two out) when third of five at Cartmel in May; may not have reached his limit just yet and he's a leading contender.

Three wins last season (2m, various ground) and ran well to be placed towards the end of last year on first two starts for this yard; faded when upped to 2m5f last month and firmly in calculations now back down in trip.

Won three small-field chases for Pauline Robson last season and was placed on first two starts for Nicky Richards this term, more recently when second at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) just after Christmas; untested beyond an extended 2m1f but is a major player if this new trip suits.

Form & Verdict
Promising novice hurdler towards the end of 2023, winning twice (2m4f/2m1f) before his improvement petered out; may still have untapped potential now returning from a break, and he's an interesting chasing debutant.

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Nicky Richards

Won last season's Scottish Champion Chase (2m4f, good to soft; his last win) off 5lb lower but only sixth in the same race when last seen two months ago and there were no clear excuses; this is a drop in grade but has never given the impression that he's a stayer in the making (unraced beyond 2m5f).

He needs to produce more than when fifth behind a couple of these over C&D (good to soft) on New Year's Day but that was just his second start of the season, after a 60-day break, and he could build on it today; won this last year (good to soft); has also won on soft here; possible contender.

T: Nicky Richards

Couldn't cope with the step up to Grade 1 level at Aintree in April (2m4f; 28-1) but had previously impressed when not overly troubled to win 2m3f/2m4f handicaps on good to soft; a sound jumper whose limitations wouldn't be exposed just yet.

Form & Verdict
3-16 for Henry De Bromhead in Ireland, winning small-field novice chase at Tramore (1m7f, good) in April but well held both starts since; certainly a player for new connections at his best, although he did join them for just £6,000.

Form & Verdict
Has a good strike-rate (8-30 Flat and hurdles); respectable fourth of six at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) 17 days ago in handicap hurdle he'd won the previous year; now sent chasing rather late in career but has a chance if taking well to the new discipline.

Form & Verdict
In good form over hurdles this time last year, winning here (2m, good to soft) and at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft); his form plateaued after that and he broke a blood vessel when pulled up on chasing debut at Hexham in May; bit to prove now but could bounce back after a break.

Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue.

Started off for Sarah Humphrey with two disappointing hurdle runs in the autumn but has turned things around over fences since, and kept on well to win by 7l at Huntingdon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; recent 6lb rise demands more from him here, though.
