Form & Verdict
Fast-improving 7yo who won four times over hurdles (2m-2m4f) during nine-day spell in March and was all set to win a match race on subsequent chasing debut before jinking and unseating rider on the run-in; 14lb higher now but it's very hard to tell when his progress will level off.

Long breaks are a feature in his profile and he was returning from another when prevailing narrowly at Stratford two months ago (2m2f, good); if as good again off 4lb higher he'll be thereabouts.

Made light of an absence when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f) in January 2025 and backed it up with a very good second of five at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; returns from 13 months off here but can't be ruled out with yard going well.

Form & Verdict
Long in the tooth now and no longer the force of old but was placed in a good-quality Kempton handicap (2m4f, good) in February and also ran well when second here (2m1f, soft) a fortnight ago; sure to appreciate today's significant drop in class; major player.

Form & Verdict
0-8 over hurdles; in the frame on three of five starts this year, most recently here (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago, and has Irish pointing experience to call upon on today's chasing debut but a couple of the others in this field look stronger.

0-11 under rules; back from a long absence to finish third on his chase debut (2m4f, soft; beaten about 14l) and the dreaded 'bounce' appeared to rear its ugly head when tailed off back at Leicester over Christmas; the removal of cheekpieces (wore no headgear two runs back) could help matters; should stay.

0-6 in points, 0-8 over hurdles and his third on chase/stable debut here a month ago was fairly remote; no real significance in the return of cheekpieces but it wasn't a bad latest run and this race is weak.

Form & Verdict
0-6 over hurdles when trained in Ireland and was tailed off in four-runner Doncaster novice on last month's stable debut; has more realistic chance at the weights on today's chasing debut but is the one with most to prove.

Ex-Irish maiden who's had 14 races; penultimate start was one of his better efforts, when third of eight over C&D, and he was not disgraced in blinkers when trying 3m2f on latest; place hopes.
