Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins included one here; seems to need goodish ground and he gave it a good go from the front on his second chase start at Huntingdon (2m4f) four weeks ago; only 2lb higher and first-time cheekpieces could help his focus; considered.

Campaigned mostly on good/good to soft; contrasting performances since switched back to hurdles from fences, winning major handicap at Kempton (2m5f) under Tristan Durrell then well held at Ascot; the penultimate piece of form gives him a chance.

J: Harry Skelton

Had been competing over fences prior to springing a 33-1 surprise in the Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) in January, travelling well for a long way and sealing the issue with a good jump at the last; up 7lb but that's solid form and he's likely to be in the thick of things again.

Successful over hurdles and fences at Kempton; however, hasn't raced in this sphere since a heavy defeat over C&D in March 2022; watching brief is advised.

Form & Verdict
Five wins over hurdles from 1m7f to 2m3f (good-soft); lack of chasing experience told when tailed off in a 2m handicap at Doncaster and he's not overly appealing on the back of that effort.

Well handicapped on his form up to May 2023 and he's one to watch in the betting, but he's struggled over hurdles and fences this season following a long absence, and has plenty to prove.

Potentially on a good mark but it's been a struggle this season after a layoff and a sudden turnaround is needed with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Looked very promising as a novice hurdler but he's now 0-6 over fences and hasn't really progressed since going close on his first attempt; has dropped to a dangerous mark if the tongue-tie can trigger something.

Won at Worcester, Wetherby (walked over) and Exeter in the autumn, from 15 starts in total over fences; unraced beyond 3m but stayed on gamely to take 11-runner race over that trip (good) last time and this distance looks worth a go; 5lb higher today but has gone well on occasions after a layoff and needs plenty of respect.

Walked over last week at Wetherby; the ground was too soft the time before and he had previously opened his account over fences by 10l in a small field at Worcester (2m7f, good; 6lb lower); consistency is not his forte.

Belatedly opened account over fences with 10l success at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month and remains well handicapped on older form; subsequent defeat on soft ground should not be viewed too harshly; sets his rival a good standard of chasing form.

8 yo Gelding

OR: 132

Form & Verdict
Ran well for a long way before going down by 12l on his chase debut at Uttoxeter in October, after which he won over hurdles at Fontwell before struggling in the Lanzarote here; very capable of defying this mark if everything comes together back chasing.

Has run here just the once and it was a win, over hurdles in 2021; 1-4 over fences last term and ran well (after wind surgery) back over hurdles on reappearance this season, before a heavy defeat in hot race last month; back chasing today, probably in need of a career best.

Form & Verdict
Signed off last season with maiden/novice wins at Wincanton (1m7f) and here (2m), both on good ground and fairly decisive; beaten 8l into fourth on his handicap debut in October but ran okay and he's bred to make a chaser.
