11st 8lb |
His third win over hurdles when a 3l winner over C&D last May (good to firm; won on soft); lost his way a little afterwards but could be better for a break and James Smith takes away a useful 7lb. |

12st 0lb |
Launched chasing career with two fairly respectable runs on soft ground this summer (3m2f/2m7f); needs to take a step forward today but is now 2lb lower than when winning a fast-ground hurdle in May and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces; interesting. |

12st 1lb |
Found only the prolific Grace A Vous Enki too good in the Lady Dudley Cup classic at Chaddesley Corbett last time (3m2f), having won two opens over shorter immediately before (all on good); first-fence casualty when last seen in a hunter chase, but generally a safe conveyance nowadays. |

30th May 2025 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Belated first career win last November opened the floodgates, as three more point wins and (last time) a slowly run Huntingdon hunter chase (beat Coolagh Park and Dr Lockdown) have followed; goes on all track types and has his going again, but likely career best required. |

Dual chase winner at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer; absent since heavy defeat over hurdles in November, though, and resumes on fairly tough mark; hooded for first time. |

Both wins for this stable came over fences (officially rated 5lb higher) at Worcester (2m7f, good) in the summer, but his sole success over hurdles came over C&D (good to soft) for Dan Skelton in April 2023; still needs to show he can do it in this discipline, though; stable also runs Calagogo. |

Lurks on a very dangerous mark even before Daire McConville's useful 8lb claim is considered but has been out of form this year and needs to turn a corner; visor replaced by cheekpieces; tongue-tie removed. |

Successful in a division of this race in 2021 but that was the middle leg of a hat-trick; not in same form at present, having performed poorly in two runs since Bangor win in October. |

24th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Last season was disappointing but he took a good step back in the right direction when third at Doncaster (3m, good) in February, despite racing rather lazily, and remains on a good mark. |

22nd Feb 2023 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Has something to prove regarding his current form having failed to shine this season; however, this two-time novice hurdle winner (3m1f/2m7f, good to soft/good) could appreciate the return to hurdles (from fences), and he's not written off for his top stable. |

2nd Jan 2023 Soft 3m 4f 102y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Dual chase winner in France but has performed poorly in his two runs over British fences, latterly at Ludlow in November; on his return to hurdling he slipped up during the early stages; ground will be fine and he'll probably stay the trip, but he needs to turn things around. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Quirky customer who is often reluctant to jump off; won at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April, after a break, and is now back on the same mark, but recent efforts were below that level and he's never easy to predict. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Has struggled to recapture the form that saw him successful at Stratford (3m2f, good) off 2lb lower in April; not one to dismiss lightly but recent efforts temper enthusiasm. |

The only one of these with chasing experience, winning on his debut over fences at Fontwell in August; something seemingly amiss when pulled up at Southwell last month; vulnerable to unexposed types. |
