Form & Verdict
Easily beaten in a match on this month's chasing debut but, with tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed, produced much better performance to win by 4l at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) four days later; effectively only 4lb higher under 7lb penalty here and could be hard to beat if suited by combination of longer trip and slower ground.

Four wins (2m5f-3m, good/good to soft) from his nine chase starts for Laura Morgan; not disgraced from lower hurdle mark at Huntingdon on last month's stable and seasonal debut; could build on that performance now back chasing and with the tongue-tie reapplied.

Runner-up in first two chases (2m4f/3mf, soft) and was in contention before unseating rider in home straight on third attempt; not seen since disappointing effort in February but a big player here if he hits the ground running after his break.

Has won two of her last three races, both at Carlisle, over 3m2f in December (soft) and over 2m5f last month (soft); has gone up 9lb (4lb for latest win); should go well again although best efforts on stiff tracks (yet to win in four tries here).

Six-time winner over hurdles and a four-time winner on the Flat but yet to convince as a chaser (three attempts); probably didn't achieve a great deal when second of two finishers at Sedgefield last month and was soundly beaten on the Flat a fortnight later; others look much safer.

Form & Verdict
Rallied well for what had looked an unlikely win at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last month, his third run for Andrew Hamilton; it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution but he's only 1lb higher here and will be fine over today's longer trip.

Close second over C&D (soft) in March 2021 and also ran well in defeat on his next two appearances but this will be his first run for 561 days and it's hard to gauge how much ability he retains as a 12yo.
