Form & Verdict
Dual Grade 1-winning hurdler in 2019; disappointing over fences in more recent years, falling a long way down the weights, and looking disinterested throughout when toiling at Bangor (beaten 66l) latest; tongue-tie returns and a visor is newly applied, seeking a much needed spark.

Kickstarted this season with success at Market Rasen (2m3f) in June but he's twice failed to build on it, beating only one at Newton Abbot (2m5f) last month; others are much preferred.

Formerly very smart and belatedly returned to winning ways in a first-time visor (with tongue-tie returning) over 2m3f at Market Rasen (good); only 3lb higher but that was three months ago and trainer turns to more new headgear now; no certainty to be as good again but strong contender if he is.

Form & Verdict
Four chase wins at Sedgefield (2m3f-2m5f) with the last of those coming from a 6lb higher mark 13 months ago; pulled up at big odds in his last two starts (soft ground), so hopes of a revival are pinned on a projected sounder surface.

Form & Verdict
Returned from a winter break with a willing Perth win (2m4f, good; off 3lb lower mark) and there's every likelihood that he'll have come on since that race; connections elect to tweak the headgear, with cheekpieces instead of a visor; the likeliest winner.

All wins on good/good to soft (2m-2m5f); won at Musselburgh in November (2m); pulled up on soft ground in January but posted a better effort back on a more suitable surface when third to a 20l winner here (2m5f, good) this month after a four-month break; should be all the sharper for that and he's back on a good mark; each-way claims.

Form & Verdict
In reasonable fettle early last year, winning over 2m at Catterick (soft) from a 12lb higher mark, but in modest form this year, refusing to line up when due to compete at Newcastle (on first go since wind surgery) a fortnight ago; difficult to know what to expect.

On a reduced mark and he took a step back in the right direction when 14l second to well-treated winner at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) in November; however, he weakened quickly over 3m1f at Catterick (soft) in January so there's a stamina doubt today, and he refused to line up on his latest intended start (withdrawn; 3-1 at the time); a hood is added.
