Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish gelding who recorded his first placed effort when a 14l third over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft; stable debut) but then finished weakly on his return to chasing in Sabbathical's race at Leicester; clearly needs to leave that effort behind him.

Won a handicap chase at Catterick for Alistair Ralph in February 2023; pulled up on first two starts for this yard later that year and not seen since; entitled to need this after mammoth layoff.

Sole win over fences in Britain came at Catterick last season; however, tailed off at Ludlow when last seen, has stamina to prove at this trip and probably best watched on yard debut returning from 163 days off (bought for £10,000 in August).

Form & Verdict
Maiden who was pulled up in his first two chases but he travelled well for a long way before finishing an 18l fourth at Leicester (2m4f, good); needs to brush up on his jumping but there's ability lurking and perhaps this is his trip.

Maiden who is 0-6 since switched to chasing, best effort when second in small field at Catterick three outings back; each-way hopes on that form but he's not solid.

Form & Verdict
Winning for a fourth time over fences when nicely on top at Leicester 12 days ago (2m, good), for which he's been raised 5lb; throws in some quiet runs now and again but he does enjoy this good ground; has obvious claims.

Ended most recent campaign with a fifth chase win, in April 2023; well held over hurdles since back from an absence but his recent Sedgefield chase second for Osian Radford was encouraging; has won both course starts, over hurdles (2m4f, heavy) and this race in 2023; solid player.

On a reduced mark and he took a step back in the right direction when 14l second to well-treated winner at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) in November; however, he weakened quickly over 3m1f at Catterick (soft) in January so there's a stamina doubt today, and he refused to line up on his latest intended start (withdrawn; 3-1 at the time); a hood is added.
