Form & Verdict
Only fourth of the five finishers at Chepstow on seasonal/chase debut but should leave that effort behind; two from two at Wetherby, the wins gained in handicap hurdles (2m/2m3f) last winter; 4-9 in that sphere overall; interesting off a workable mark back here.

0-6 during his last campaign but he dropped down the weights and returned with encouraging second to a handicap blot at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft); could build on that latest run and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who had a strike-rate of 3-6 over hurdles last term; easily beat sole rival in novice handicap chase at Ffos Las (2m, soft) on reappearance, having jumped well in the main; likely to cope with 4lb rise; progressing well and commands respect.

Ran no race at Windsor in January; however, prior to that he went close in a Class 2 handicap at Sandown (2m, soft; effective on good to soft); on a handy mark if factoring in Harry Atkins' claim; front runner, and not the only one.

Consistent 10yo who was third in this last year (soft) and reappeared with close second to Go Dante at Sandown (2m, soft) last month; up 2lb to a career-high mark but can give another good account and 7lb claimer Harry Atkins, who is enjoying a fine winter, rides him for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Ran in a couple of races here last month, finishing second of three over 1m7f then soundly beaten over 2m3f (Grade 3); defied an 8lb higher mark in this contest two years ago and has to be feared on that basis, though perhaps isn't quite the same horse now.

Failed to fire in Grade 3 handicaps at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals (2m4f/3m1f) as a novice chaser last season, following two wins at Haydock (2m/2m4f); interesting back down in trip/class granted his ideal conditions; has an impressive strike-rate on soft/heavy.

Pulled hard and failed to show his form at Aintree on Grand Sefton day when back from a layoff; however, may settle better with that outing under his belt; looks too well treated to be ignored, having defied a 6lb higher mark over C&D (heavy) two seasons ago.
