Two fair efforts since being stepped up to 3m on last two starts, last time finishing nearly 8l fourth over C&D to stable companion Castletown (6lb worse off); each-way chance.

Chase wins over 2m here and 2m4f at Newcastle; this longer trip wasn't an issue when runner-up at Hexham (good) a month ago and he may have more to offer as a stayer.

Collected two small-field chase wins last season, the latter off today's mark at Newcastle (2m4f, good) in November; comes here after respectable fourth at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; a possible if suited by today's step up in trip.

Not always one to rely upon heavily but has won two good-ground chases since the summer, the latter at Sedgefield (2m5f) six weeks ago; no surprise if he's in the thick of things again.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 107

Form & Verdict
Has really got his act together over fences since the summer and doubled his chasing tally with all-out success at Kelso (2m7f, good to soft) last month; went up 7lb for that but ought to cope with today's drop back in trip and can make his presence felt again.

Minor honours on all three runs for new stable this July/September, over fences at 3m2f, 2m7f and 2m4f; cheekpieces were enlisted last time; should be seriously involved again.

Two good runs for new stable this summer, the latter when keeping-on second at Worcester (2m7f, good; also has form on soft) 23 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted; leading contender.

His two wins over fences for Rose Dobbin were in 2022; down the weights and had some respectable runs last winter, before his £6,000 sale in May and another respectable show in fourth of 12 at Uttoxeter (favourite) on stable debut in July when it looked as if 3m2f stretched him; back down in trip and on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Signed off over hurdles with two below-par efforts in today's headgear combination in spring and makes chase/handicap debut with a bit to prove but his first two hurdling runs were promising and he remains unexposed.

Low-mileage 6yo who lost out only by a short head on stable debut at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in March; needs to bounce back from a lesser effort last month but should be fine over today's longer trip and enters calculations.
