Form & Verdict
Out of form over hurdles in early part of this year but, following a break, made encouraging start to chasing career in September/October, notably when going close at Worcester (2m, good) two runs ago; found the stiff 2m4f at Carlisle too taxing on latest outing but still ran well there, and looks well worth another crack at 2m4f on this easier track; tongue-tie fitted.

The first of his two chase wins (from 19 attempts) was over C&D in 2022 and he was runner-up back here on reappearance this term; ran respectably at Southwell last time and should figure prominently in this field.

Bit of a mixed bag since winning off 11lb higher here (2m, good to soft) in March last year, his second of eight at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on his return last month (has a good record fresh) surrounded by lesser efforts; others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed 6yo who was close third behind Captain Broomfield on Irish point debut just over a year ago (good ground) and has shaped with promise on both hurdling starts this year (2m5f/2m); open to significant improvement on today's chase/handicap debut; interesting.

Found only the prolific Grace A Vous Enki too good in the Lady Dudley Cup classic at Chaddesley Corbett last time (3m2f), having won two opens over shorter immediately before (all on good); first-fence casualty when last seen in a hunter chase, but generally a safe conveyance nowadays.

Belated first career win last November opened the floodgates, as three more point wins and (last time) a slowly run Huntingdon hunter chase (beat Coolagh Park and Dr Lockdown) have followed; goes on all track types and has his going again, but likely career best required.

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner who was fairly useful in his prime; back down to career-low mark for today's chasing debut (following wind surgery) but we haven't seen him since a poor run in cheekpieces (now discarded) in March and he's not bred for fences; others have much more potential.

Very versatile 9yo who has two chases among his seven career wins; signed off for Neil King with some disappointing efforts over jumps last spring and was well beaten on both Flat starts for new stable last month; considered only if lively in the betting.

Winning Irish pointer who was second on two of his three hurdling starts; no match for impressive winner on seasonal debut at Kelso (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago but moves up in trip for today's chase/handicap debut and has significant potential.

Suddenly bounced back to form with 66-1 win off much reduced mark at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in April but was pulled up over that C&D the following month and now has it all to prove again; cheekpieces replaced blinkers.
