OR: 116

Form & Verdict
Has won five times on the Flat and twice over hurdles (France); has run respectably a couple of times off much higher marks than this since back in Britain, but he goes chasing with high mileage on the clock and it remains to be seen what he makes of it; tongue-tie is a first.

Scored over fences here in November but below that form since, going too freely in cheekpieces when fifth of eight back hurdling at Bangor in March; he needs to bounce back.

J: Jay Tidball

T: Alastair Ralph

Dual chase winner in the autumn (2m1f/2m) but seems to have lost his way a bit in recent weeks; switches back to hurdling on a workable mark but needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
On a dangerous mark and she was second to an improver in a small field at Huntingdon (2m, good) two weeks ago; very much enters the reckoning.

No match for Tap Tap Boom at Plumpton but she was game in victory at Cheltenham (2m4f, good), providing her yard with a welcome winner; back up 6lb but had got herself well handicapped; respected.

Runner-up over 2m/2m1f at Huntingdon and Plumpton this term, no match for the winner both times; weakened into sixth in this contest 12 months ago and may get outstayed back up in distance.

Form & Verdict
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.

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.

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.

Good record here includes victory in this race two years ago off 13lb higher when also making his seasonal reappearance; has dropped to a good mark during his losing spell and last season was by no means a washout.
