Form & Verdict
Hasn't threatened the winner over 2m3f/2m4f (good/good to soft) this autumn on his first three chase starts but hasn't been running badly and it's possible this lightly raced 3m point winner will be suited by the step up in trip; could have a part to play.

Well handicapped on some of last season's form but had fortune on his side when winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September and has been safely held twice since; should be fine over today's trip but needs to up his game; tongue-tie fitted.

Made it 2-10 over fences when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September but the clear leader fell two out in that race and this 7yo came up well short in his follow-up bid at Bangor last month; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Beaten 7l and 18l on his two starts this autumn but those were respectable performances at Carlisle (3m, good) and Sedgefield (3m3f, soft), where he faded late on, and this sharp 3m could prove ideal.

Form & Verdict
Has done well switched to fences this season, winning twice (3m/2m7f, good/good to soft); didn't run badly when third of four at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last time and this 7yo could have more to offer now back up in trip, for a trainer who has won three of the last five runnings; considered.

His two wins over fences for Rose Dobbin were in 2022; down the weights and had some respectable runs last winter, before his £6,000 sale in May and another respectable show in fourth of 12 at Uttoxeter (favourite) on stable debut in July when it looked as if 3m2f stretched him; back down in trip and on the shortlist.

Needs to conclusively prove he stays this far and he was well beaten here (2m, good to soft) on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed the run and is on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts, including a win here (2m4f, good to soft); showed promise in 3m handicap hurdle in May 2021 and he's not ruled out.
