Form & Verdict
His French win worked out really well and he bounced straight back from a quiet British debut to win the Victor Ludorum at Haydock (good to soft); held the Triumph entry until the latest forfeit stage and should be hard to beat.

Went close in Grade 1 juvenile hurdle two seasons ago for previous yard; couple of encouraging handicap efforts (2m1f/2m3f) since returning from lengthy absence; could have a race of this nature in him.

Form & Verdict
Finished third to Desert Crown in last year's Dante when with Aidan O'Brien and twice ran okay in Listed races before sold on for 50,000gns; reportedly lost a shoe on his hurdling debut and then ran well behind an exciting prospect at Newbury (first run in a tongue-tie); could give the favourite something to think about.

All five wins over hurdles have been at 2m; hasn't won since his return to action in October and ran poorly when eighth of nine finishers at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; handicapper is at last relenting but his best chance of success in the short-term may be back at 2m.

Record of 5-23 over hurdles and placed a few times as well; a bit up and down this season but ran respectably in the new blinkers at Fakenham last time and now regular cheekpieces return over a longer trip that may suit him better.

Form & Verdict
AW winner who can make mistakes, though that didn't stop him from winning fairly comfortably on his handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, good); reportedly suffered from heat stress when flopping at odds-on there next time; even if back on song, Bo Zenith should have his measure.

A dual hurdle winner for Milton Harris; well beaten on the Flat on first two starts for this stable in June and only made a satisfactory start to his chasing career when a well-held third at Plumpton (2m1f, good; second has won since) last month; has a fitness edge over some and not ruled out with that experience behind him, off 5lb lower.

Unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat but has scored over 2m and 2m4f as a hurdler; his significant Flat form was in 2022 and he was tailed off on recent return to Flat for new yard after eight months off; others have more pressing claims.

Capable of good Flat form for James Ferguson (at up to 1m4f) and there were positives to take from his second run over hurdles at Lingfield (2m, good to soft); still has plenty to find and handicaps could be more like it.

1m6f win at Sandown last July and beaten by a head over hurdles in November; those were two of the best efforts in a very in-and-out campaign (hampered on sole start here) and he was always behind when reappearing 12 days ago; wore cheekpieces on six of his last seven starts but they're off today.
