T: Fergal O’Brien

Made it 4-9 over fences when coming clear for a 24l success at Kempton in April (3m, good) but that race fell apart and he faded to be beaten a long way at Uttoxeter two months ago (3m2f, good); needs to leave that run behind but he's not handicapped out of it.

Made it 4-9 over fences when coming clear for a 24l success at Kempton in April (3m, good); the two other finishers perhaps ran below form but a 4lb rise could have been a lot worse.

OR: 121

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner who made it fourth time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism in a Southwell handicap (2m4f, good to soft) last month; up 7lb but everything really clicked with that smooth success and he's open to more progress; strong contender.

J: Richie McLernon

T: Ben Haslam

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner at up to 2m6f for Dan Skelton; placed on first four starts over fences last season, but absent for over a year and changed yards since finishing a well-beaten fifth of six at Warwick in October (2m4f, good); probably best watched back over hurdles after a year off.

OR: 114

Form & Verdict
Stayed on strongly on hurdle debut here in November 2021 when awarded the race due to interference; that was a promising start under rules but had only two runs since and pulled up in a Sandown handicap in March; still very lightly raced but has something to prove on chase debut.
