Battled on well to score off 5lb higher at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March 2024 and is also suited by this C&D but has performed poorly on all four appearances since last June and needs to turn a corner.

Form & Verdict
Made all over hurdles at Aintree (2m4f, good) in June and has performed well in all three subsequent chases, most recently when second at Stratford (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; would have something to prove if the ground ends up slower than good to soft but, otherwise, he's a likely contender.

0-7 over fences but has become quite well handicapped on some of last summer's form and returned from break with very encouraging third on slower-than-ideal ground at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) last month; not yet proven over this far under rules but will warrant consideration if the rain holds off.

Winning hurdler who is 0-6 as a chaser but he's threatened once or twice and 3m looked a stretch when last seen at Uttoxeter in September; on a decent mark but his record fresh is no more than okay.

Form & Verdict
Came good over hurdles with wide-margin success in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (3m, good) in April; just a respectable fourth when switched to fences at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to firm) 12 days ago but ran well for a long way there and the cheekpieces are refitted here.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage mare who made the frame in two handicap hurdles this summer (2m1f/2m3f, good; also has form on soft); made low-key chasing debut at Cartmel (2m1f, good) a fortnight ago but has stamina in her pedigree and looks interesting on her first attempt at 3m.
