Form & Verdict
Very useful hurdler; beaten at short odds on chasing debut here (2m) in May but won his next three races in good style (2m4f-2m5f); impressed with his jumping when making all at Market Rasen ten weeks ago and ought to be very difficult to beat here.

9-28 over fences, the latest win gained at Chepstow (2m7f, good to firm) in October; below that form three times on good to soft ground since but didn't run badly on penultimate appearance and will be better suited by the forecast good ground here; might be the answer.

Strike-rate of 9-27 over fences and his third in a veterans' chase at Newbury in February (3m2f) was encouraging given he had been absent for three months and good to soft ground would have been slow enough; should run well.

Successful in similar event at Chepstow in October (penultimate start) and returns from another break with Rian Corcoran taking off a useful 7lb; however, chance largely depends on what the weather does (ideally needs a sound surface).

Form & Verdict
Useful hurdler who is 4-5 since switched to chasing this season, with all the wins gained in either two or three-runner races; suited by this track and unlikely to go down without a fight but faces a tough opponent today.

All five wins over fences when trained by Paul Nicholls in 2022-23; won a point in May 2024; pulled up on first chase run since at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good to soft; 22-1) last month; hard to fancy.

Capable hurdler/chaser for Paul Nicholls; has been holding his own in hunter chases and he's still only an 8yo; may prefer longer trips these days.

Form & Verdict
Well-beaten 66-1 shot off lowly mark in Fontwell handicap when returned to chasing three weeks ago; tongue-tie fitted today; probably needs the other two to fail to complete.
