Form & Verdict
Off the mark when forging clear in Southwell handicap hurdle (2m, good) in May but he has a patchy profile and was pulled up at Uttoxeter in June; still lightly raced but he's 9lb higher than for his win and needs to kick on again now switched to chasing on his return.

Four of his six wins have been at this track, three of which over 2m; has lost his way, however, since the last of those in May last year off 7lb higher; well handicapped if he can return to form after absence of 223 days.

Form & Verdict
Her hurdle win was in March 2021 but that was at this track (1m7f, good to soft) and she was a good second at Haydock (2m3f, good; off 2lb lower) in her last run in that sphere; struggled in two Flat runs in September but conditions should be fine on this switch to fences and she needs checking in market; tongue-tie reapplied.

Form & Verdict
0-5 over hurdles but this point bumper winner made a good start to his chasing career when making all at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) last month; that was in a three-runner race but he forged clear from the favourite and is strongly respected off 3lb higher here.

J: Sean Quinlan

T: Nicky Richards

Pulled up just over two months ago when back from a long absence and needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he shaped pretty well for a fair way on that latest start and he was a highly progressive novice chaser in the 2022-23 campaign; no surprise if he has a big say today.

Two wins over fences at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in July but he was well held in final two runs during the summer including a laboured effort at Cartmel last time; has bit to prove after three months off and he's fairly exposed in this sphere.

Four chase wins, the latest off today's mark in this race a year ago (good ground); absent since some below-par efforts on slower-than-ideal ground towards end of 2025 and not getting any younger but booking of Sean Bowen drops strong hint he'll be primed for a bold defence.

Form & Verdict
Survived a mid-race blunder to get off the mark over fences at the ninth time of asking at Carlisle (2m, good) last month; should remain very competitive up 4lb and it would be a positive if the ground dries out; key player.

Form & Verdict
Well treated on best Irish hurdles form but he's struggled for current yard and was pulled up on recent chase debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft); overall record now stands at 1-23 and he has a lot to prove back in trip; tongue-tie added.
