Form & Verdict
Not an instant success over fences but second at Exeter in April and pulled last month's Worcester race out of the fire with a strong finish; usual hood removed for that and missing again; 4lb rise might not stop him.

Multiple winner over hurdles and fences; went down narrowly after a break at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) and he's hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him.

Form & Verdict
Back from six months off with a fine second at Stratford and can race off the same mark; improved last year and this front-runner may prove difficult to catch if dropping back in trip isn't a drawback.

Bled from the nose when pulling up at Worcester in July and she ran as if something was amiss, jumping badly to her right, at Fontwell on latest outing; competitive mark judged on plenty of other form but a note of caution has been sounded.

Ended his time with Richard Hobson by winning at Taunton in March; tailed off in both starts for this stable and needs the return of Gavin Sheehan, aboard for that latest success, to perk him up; races prominently.

Catterick winner on chasing debut last November but hasn't built on it; now 5lb below that winning mark so has hopes if a visor, replacing the cheekpieces tried latest, proves a benefit.
