Form & Verdict
0-8 but in the frame in his last seven outings, finishing runner-up at Huntingdon (2m5f, good to soft) and Sedgefield (2m4f, good) before fourth of nine at Taunton (3m, good); may be happier back at this trip and hood now given a go, but up another 2lb and needs a bit more in order to get off the mark.

Hat-trick of Fontwell 2m3f wins since a hood was fitted; doesn't seem to do more than necessary so has only edged up the weights; faces a much tougher task in this company but foolish to rule him out.

Form & Verdict
Disappointing favourite on his second chase start at Ffos Las (2m, soft) last time, but had previously confirmed his liking for testing conditions when winning in good style over hurdles at the same track (2m, heavy); 5lb higher and conditions should be ideal, but still has to conclusively prove his stamina for this far.

Won over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) in January and bounced back from subsequent flop there when going close at Fontwell (2m3f, heavy) 11 days ago; solid claims on this return to chasing with the ground in his favour once more.

Emphatically returned to winning ways in a 2m heavy-ground handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (off 5lb lower) before cutting out quickly after a mistake on his return to fences there (in new cheekpieces that are retained); would prefer softer ground.

Form & Verdict
Has done really well for this yard, winning six of his last 12 starts Flat/hurdles, his latest success at Leicester (2m, soft) in December; held in a better race at Huntingdon (2m, good) last time, but should be more at home back at this level and conditions no problem (won the novices' handicap on this card last year); much respected.

Respectable record at Goodwood includes four wins, notably this contest in 2022 (soft); outstayed over 2m4f when behind Temporize at the Glorious festival then ran creditably back at 2m here later in August; solid claims.

T: Gary Moore

Can make the running and suited by soft ground; has won on four of his seven visits to this track, and on his penultimate visit he chased home the subsequent Ascot Gold Cup winner; only fifth last time but he made up a lot of ground after starting slowly and it's best to put a line through that; this trip could suit him.

Made low-key return from mammoth absence a year ago (chase debut) and was pulled up when reverting to hurdling after another layoff in December (bled from the nose); connections are persisting but he urgently needs to prove some ability remains, and Charlie Deutsch evidently prefers Oxygen today.
