Form & Verdict
Won at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in August and has continued to run well since, latterly on good to soft ground that would have been slow enough for him; big player with the return of cheekpieces no bad thing.

Four chase wins, the latest at Leicester last December (four ran); only seen once since, when running poorly at Wincanton last month; good ground ideal and decent claims if that latest effort is overlooked.

Had run well here on a previous visit and he showed his liking for this course when winning here four weeks ago (good to firm; all other wins on good); looks set for another good effort.

Form & Verdict
Not far away over C&D (soft) in February and that was off a 7lb higher mark; however, there's been little to shout about since (reverted back to hurdling the last twice) and she needs the first-time cheekpieces to trigger something.

Has won two small-field mares chases at Leicester (2m4f, good; by 3l from Auditoria) and Wincanton (2m4f, good; Auditoria third) on last two starts; still feasibly treated and has a chance.

Plenty to find with Methodtothemagic on Leicester form in February (2m6f, good) but has done better since returned to 2m4f on last two starts, making all at Leicester and Wincanton (good/good to soft); has a stamina query beyond that trip.

Made all in similar event at Leicester (2m4f, good; opened her chase account) last month, beating Auditoria who went one better last week; likely player provided she's in the same form (lacks consistency).

Form & Verdict
Didn't help himself by jumping out to the right when third at Southwell on Tuesday (2m, good) so that was a reasonable effort on reflection; only 1-25 but shouldn't be far away.

Forced the pace for each of his three chase wins (2m4f-2m5f); reasonably weighted but was basically out of form when last in action; stamina reserves will be sorely tested over this trip; others preferred.

Back in the zone when collecting by 12l at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) but he ran no race under his penalty at Southwell on Tuesday; hard to trust on the back of that effort.
