Form & Verdict
Runs off the same mark as when winning at Newcastle (2m, good) in February; some fair performances since and he's not ruled out, but he's fallen on two of his last three starts (latest in July) and others arrive with more pressing claims; good ground may be preferable.

Form & Verdict
Won this last year (good to soft) and also scored here in March (2m4f, good to soft); having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a good second at Perth (2m4f, good) six weeks ago and, even back up 3lb, he remains below his last winning mark; has plenty in his favour.

Finished a close third of five in handicap chase at Hexham (1m7f, soft) last time out in April and, with that being just his fifth start, he could have more to offer; showed promise on good to soft over hurdles; a possible.

1-24 over fences, the win for a different stable at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last May; ran well when second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) in February but was below that form when back at Hexham last month and is not the percentage call here.

Has a poor strike-rate but his sole win came over C&D (good to soft) last May and, following wind surgery, he returned to form with a close second of five at Doncaster (2m4f, good) last month; he's one to consider.

Bumped into in-form Tico Times when runner-up back over fences at Perth (2m, good) in September and went one better at Carlisle (2m, good) three weeks ago; it's a long time since he ran on slow ground but he won on good to soft in 2020; up 4lb for last time but in a lower grade here; respected.
