Form & Verdict
Only win last season came over hurdles; most consistent in defeat either side of that until running poorly at Sandown in April; well beaten in previous attempts at 3m; just one win from last 18 starts but may yet get his career back on track.

Form & Verdict
Unbeaten in two C&D attempts, both in July, and romped home in the second of them (three ran); 9lb rise for that asks a deal more of him but only a 5yo and clearly improving so may well prove up to it.

Form & Verdict
Taunton winner in February and placed in two marathon races later in the spring; fair effort over hurdles last month, after a break, and has to enter calculations, for all that he has a modest 3-35 career record.

11st 9lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: Nigel Hawke

Ended last season with two creditable efforts in marathon chases and he returned from another break with a respectable fourth at Exeter (3m6f, good to soft) 19 days ago; takes a big drop back in trip but his last win came over 2m7f here in February and he could be dangerous.

J: Tom Buckley

T: Nigel Hawke

Ended last season with two creditable efforts in marathon chases but he's not been at his best over hurdles and fences in his two runs this term; mark is sliding but he's still 3lb higher than for his chase win and has an overall record of 3-36; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Only win came in a bumper on his debut in 2018; encouraging chasing debut in May but that's been followed by three very modest efforts; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles) return and tongue-strap on for first time.

Yet to add to his bumper success over hurdles/fences and he was well below par in Tipperary novice chase for Stuart Crawford when last seen out in July; has since changed hands for £7,500 and he can't be ruled out for his new yard.
