Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 6yo who displayed improvement when placed over hurdles in September and was beaten only about 3l when fourth of 12 on recent chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); moves up in trip here and will pose potent threat if first-time cheekpieces have any sort of positive effect.

Ran well at Perth in September (2m4f, soft; hurdles) and he has shown better form in two chase runs since, missing out by a neck at Southwell five weeks ago (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained); still has better to come in this discipline.

Form & Verdict
Seemingly aided by fitting of tongue-tie when scoring by 8l at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) last Boxing Day; ran another big race over that C&D a few weeks later and is not yet fully exposed but this is his first run for 298 days and he needs to prove he's effective on a left-handed track.

Ex-pointer who came good under rules with clear C&D (soft) success on Boxing Day 2021 and ran a big race in defeat when back here a few weeks later; didn't run anything like as badly as eventual 43l defeat may suggest on seasonal debut in November and the return to this track is an obvious plus.
