Form & Verdict
Delivered on earlier promise when winning easily at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) last month; not in same form when beaten odds-on favourite at Worcester (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and untested on ground any quicker than that but still a leading contender here.

His form during the opening half of last season included a Kempton win (on good) and a pretty good effort at Cheltenham, both over 3m; this year's two runs were nothing like so good but the ability is there.

Below par last time at Ascot but Kempton win in November was off only 4lb lower and then ran fairly well at Cheltenham; if back to that level of form then he wouldn't be far away.

4-17 over hurdles, the latest win when 80-1 under Freddie Mitchell at Kempton (3m, good) in November on second start for this stable; respectable seventh of ten when 40-1 at Cheltenham (3m) in December last time but his old, markedly better form may now be out of reach.

Form & Verdict
Looks exposed after eight hurdle runs but has been pretty consistent at a fair level, and looked the most likely winner before last-flight fall at Stratford (2m6f, good) ten days ago; cheekpieces didn't appear to make much difference when tried once last year but they're given another whirl today; unraced on ground quicker than good; ought to play another major role.

Threatened off higher marks as a hurdler but she remains a maiden and has been tailed off in two runs since returning from a break; looks worth taking on now sent over fences for the first time.

Still awaiting her first win; has threatened off this mark in the past but her tailed-off run after a break at Fontwell tempers enthusiasm.

Form & Verdict
Came good in points with two good-ground wins at Kingston Blount last May (maiden/restricted) but today's rules debut comes after a one-year absence and he has a bit more on his plate this time; swaps usual blinkers for first-time cheekpieces.

Lightly raced 9yo; all good over hurdles since joining this yard, producing form figures of 11213 in staying handicaps; his mark has taken a hit but this dual point winner could easily make a chaser.

Half-brother to smart chaser Chemical Energy; 1-8 in Irish points, the win gained on good to yielding ground in February; second twice in recent weeks and evidently in good heart, but probably best watched on rules debut.
