Form & Verdict
Has plenty of chasing experience and he recorded a couple of all-the-way wins on slow ground in March; still 4lb higher than for last success but he gave it a good shot when second of three behind a progressive rival at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on his return three weeks ago.; should benefit from that run and he could make a bold bid back on slower ground.

Regressive form this season; drops back to an easier level but doesn't have the ideal scenario; this front-runner has gained all chase wins in much smaller fields.

Form & Verdict
Won two of his four hurdle starts last season including a juvenile event at Plumpton (2m) when last seen in April; travelled strongly before forging clear in that race and he's an interesting contender now switched to fences on his handicap debut; his wins have come on good to soft/good.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who is not easy to predict and was a well-held fifth in his final two runs last term but he's now 8lb lower than for his C&D win (soft) last autumn; doesn't have a great record when fresh but interesting to see how he figures in market after 215 days off; usually wears headgear but it's missing today.

Quite useful in his prime and was a C&D winner last season; very much a force in decline now but ran well for a long way in Class 3 race at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft) last month and now contests a Class 5 handicap for the first time in his career.

T: Gary Moore

Not the force of old but he tends to come alive here, winning this race in 2020 and going down narrowly (good to soft ground) 12 months ago; mainly in the doldrums since but there were signs of a revival at Plumpton 18 days ago and he's thrown in on his best form despite being 3lb out of the weights.

Not the easiest to predict these days, but he's very well handicapped on his winning form; ran okay at Fontwell (2m2f, soft) when considering an ordinary record when fresh and going without headgear (now returns) that has served him well in the past; chance.

Form & Verdict
Ex-French 5yo; made it 3-5 over fences when scoring on his British/stable debut at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) in January but he's been disappointing since and was a remote last of three here (2m5f, good) on his recent return to action; now 4lb lower than for last win but he needs a major revival back at this trip.

Lightly raced 6yo who won two handicap hurdles in spring (2m4f, good/good to soft) but she's struggled switched to chasing in her two runs this autumn (including over C&D); still early days in this sphere but she needs to leave her latest form a long way behind.

Form & Verdict
Didn't progress last season and he ended that campaign with a heavy defeat but two of his three chase wins have come after an absence, including a comfortable success at Ffos Las (2m, soft) last November; looks well handicapped on that form and he needs a close look in market.

Raced mainly at around 2m but returned to form with clearcut success when upped to 2m4f at Lingfield (good to soft) 11 days ago and is now 6-20 over fences; escapes a penalty here (due a 5lb rise) and ought to cope with the slower ground; obvious contender.
