Form & Verdict
Only 3lb higher than for his hurdling success (2m3f, soft) but he was tailed off on his final run in that discipline and endured the same fate on his chase debut at Newton Abbot three weeks ago (3m2f, good; does stay 3m); perhaps he needed that latest run and we know he can do better.

Dual 2m4f course winner in November 2022; back on a good mark now but looked out of sorts when returning from long absence at Fakenham in December and his current ability is tricky to gauge; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Made it 5-9 over fences with a dominant display at Uttoxeter 17 days ago and, off this 9lb higher mark, he was still in front and going okay when unseating four out at Market Rasen; looks progressive; improvement has come on good ground.

Form & Verdict
Course winner over 3m1f last December off 4lb higher; failed to progress from that but his reappearance run behind a progressive rival at Chepstow (2m7f) was a definite step back in the right direction; should go well provided he takes to the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces).

He's tumbled down the weights but for good reason, having been pulled up on his last four starts; the return to hurdles and the first-time tongue-tie need to have a dramatically positive effect; blinkers left off.

On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time.

Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player.

9 yo Gelding

OR: 120

Form & Verdict
He travelled well throughout when left in the lead at the final fence at Stratford (2m5f, good) and, for one who can struggle with his consistency, it was encouraging to see him again run well only two days later under a penalty (2m3f at Plumpton); off 2lb lower he's seriously considered.

All three wins for Gordon Elliott came over Perth's 2m4f, all handicap chases; not in remotely the same form for his current yard and perhaps flattered when third from the front at Exeter last time.
