12st 0lb |
Veteran who is hard to predict but he may have had stamina issues when pulled up in the Devon National (3m7f) and he ran well over an inadequate 2m3f (good to soft) on his penultimate run; this trip is a much better fit and he's well handicapped on old form; not ruled out in new headgear. |

11st 1lb |
11yo who has had some layoffs; unseated at the first fence on November reappearance; fifth of ten here eight days later, when 2m3f was probably far too short, was a step back in the right direction and his sole chase win (from ten attempts) was at this track, but he's yet to prove himself beyond 3m1f (tailed off once over 3m2f); acts on soft but not the percentage call. |

12st 0lb |
Useful handicapper in his prime and versatile regarding ground; badly out of form under rules last season but easily won five-runner point on latest outing in March, and it will be interesting to see whether he enjoys a new lease of life in hunter chases. |

26th Apr 2024 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Three hurdle wins in France; his first success of any note in Britain was when winning over 2m5f at Newton Abbot a year ago (soft), a victory that seemed unlikely until he went into overdrive late on; returns on a good mark but with fitness issues. |

Three hurdle wins but 0-13 as a chaser and ran poorly latest; perhaps the drop in trip and going this way around may help but obvious risks. |

11st 4lb |
Kept on for modest third on handicap hurdle debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer and, following a break, was not disgraced when last of four behind useful rivals in Exeter novice chase (3m, good to soft) last month; has much better chance at the weights in this handicap chase and remains unexposed; interesting. |
