Form & Verdict
Yet to make any further progress since breakthrough hurdle win for Philip Hobbs at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) a year ago but was still going okay when brought down on home turn at Doncaster (3m, good) last month and remains on a workable mark; might be the answer.

Won his fourth hurdle race when scoring at Catterick over an extended 3m in January and a solid run over 2m6f at Thurles since; this trip suits better and can be involved.

Form & Verdict
Began this season with three slow-ground wins over 2m7f; may still have further improvement to come but managed only fourth off today's mark at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last month and encounters much quicker conditions here.

Seemingly back in good nick when second over fences in December but two lacklustre efforts have followed and it's hard to predict whether this first hurdle run since 2023 will rekindle his enthusiasm.

Runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December but never going after an early mistake when pulled up at Ludlow since, taking his overall chase record to 1-18; first-time blinkers replace regular visor.

Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time.

Form & Verdict
Placed twice here in the autumn, latterly when second to El Hageb Rose over today's trip (good to soft), but his next two runs were disappointing and he is nothing like the force of old.

Form & Verdict
Finished well from unpromising position to reel in Beaufort West and cause 100-1 shock over C&D (good to soft) on seasonal/stable debut in November; today's 3lb higher mark ought to be manageable but he struggled to get competitive at Fontwell in December and it's hard to know what to expect from him today.

100-1 winner in a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last November off 7lb higher; reverted to lesser shows since but, wearing cheekpieces first time, he did make some late progress from right out the back when fifth of nine at Huntingdon (3m) last time on a rare run over fences; not entirely dismissed.

Form & Verdict
Close third at Perth (2m4f, good) on hurdle debut for Gordon Elliott last July but left that stable after lesser effort a few weeks later and was pulled up when reappearing for new stable here (2m, soft) six weeks ago; has better chance at the weights on today's handicap debut, though, and the hike up in trip is an interesting move.

Close third on hurdle debut for Gordon Elliott at Perth (2m4f, good) last summer but this year's form for Seamus Mullins has been very underwhelming; drops back in trip after racing too freely in two handicaps last month (3m1f/3m2f); needs to turn a corner.
