Form & Verdict
Runner-up on first two chase starts before winning over C&D (soft) on New Year's Day, with Tupelo Mississippi a near-7l second in that four-runner race; he's just 1lb higher today (albeit 5lb worse off with the reopposing runner-up) and holds strong claims.

J: Mr William Biddick

Below best on both starts this term and didn't jump well at Haydock latest, but it wasn't a bad run from out of the weights; now just 1lb higher than when 8l second to handicap blot in this race last year (soft) and can play a leading role if back on song now in cheekpieces; has won on good to soft.

Reappeared with good second on his stable debut at Wetherby (3m, soft) last month and he didn't quite see out 3m4f at Haydock (soft) last time; firmly in calculations now back down in trip.

Battled on well to win small-field Catterick chase (3m1f, heavy) off today's mark in January but looked out of sorts on both subsequent starts over fences; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this first hurdling start since 2021; others look much less risky.

Form & Verdict
Promising novice hurdler in 2020-21 season; just four runs since but he was an encouraging second of four behind Git Maker over C&D (soft) on New Year's Day when back from an absence and 6lb out of the handicap; he's 5lb better off with the winner for about 7l and might not be far away.

Winner of two bumpers (in 2020) and three races over jumps for Brian Ellison, the most recent in a 2m5f handicap chase at Cartmel last summer, pulled up in a point-to-point at Kildorrery on first start for Ian O'Connor; best watched.

T: Brian Ellison

Kelso and Cartmel 2m5f-2m6f chase wins have been gained from two of his three lowest ever marks; work to do back up 5lb and there's pace rivalry if a repeat of last time's all-the-way tactics is planned.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Brian Ellison

9yo who is not easy to predict but he won over fences at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in January and was a close fourth of 13 over hurdles here (2m6f, good) three weeks ago; only 2lb higher than for that last win and has possibilities back in this sphere.

Form: /44P-6

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
Continues to drop down the weights but he's run just four times in the last two seasons and has been well below his best the last twice, most recently his reappearance at Kelso; needs to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Goes up in distance and he could do with settling better than on last month's chase debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft), but he kept on for a good third that day and was progressive over hurdles previously; could play a leading role if seeing out the trip.
