Form & Verdict
Opened chasing account with wide-margin win in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in April 2022 but was well below that form on next two outings and didn't get far when returned to Newton Abbot last month; would probably prefer the rain to stay away; others look safer.

C&D winner last summer off 4lb lower and that was a narrow success; fared less well after 81 days off at Exeter and now returns from another break; others safer on debut for another new trainer.

Wouldn't want much rain but has turned a corner on his last couple of runs and the front two were nicely on top when edging home at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July; suffered a wound on his leg which would explain the subsequent break; 5lb higher.

Scored over C&D last year and looked back in good form when second at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here but, otherwise, he's a contender.

Form & Verdict
Teenager who runs this track well and rallied well to score off 1lb lower over C&D (good) last month; not quite in same form at Bangor ten days ago but will cope if there's rain about and must be considered.

Enjoying a fine summer with two Stratford wins and shade unfortunate (slipping saddle) when second at Southwell latest; another 6lb rise in stronger company asks a lot from this 13yo, however.

Form & Verdict
Very lightly raced 7yo; safely held when fourth on handicap hurdle debut in February (2m, good) but connections are evidently keen to switch this Irish point runner-up to chasing; worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form & Verdict
Ended last year with a win off today's mark at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) but lost his form soon afterwards, and his last couple of runs have been particularly disappointing; needs a huge boost from the added blinkers; has run well on good to soft but is unproven on anything slower.
