Form & Verdict
All three wins gained under Brian Hughes and posted a welcome return to form with him on board when second at Newcastle last month; 3lb rise still leaves him on a competitive mark and good effort looks very likely.

Three-time chase winner (twice over C&D on good ground); did not get competitive on latest outing in December but was in fairly good form over hurdles/fences beforehand and looks interesting now returned to this venue, on a good mark and with conditions very much in his favour.

T: Micky Hammond

Has not been firing on all cylinders this year but was placed over hurdles in the summer and didn't run badly on slower-than-ideal ground when back over fences at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) last month; competes off another career-low mark here; a possible if the ground is closer to good.

Form & Verdict
Won only start in Irish points; has shown ability over hurdles, notably when second at Warwick two starts ago, after which the stewards intervened; chasing/handicap debut and no surprise if proved good enough to win.

Three chase wins this season, the latest in fast-ground match race at Taunton (2m2f) in November; ran well again when second of three at Newcastle (2m, good) last month, after a break, and is likely to be on the premises here.

Form & Verdict
Only win came two years ago and exposed as moderate; runner-up to a subsequent winner at Fakenham this month, on return from a break/wind surgery; likely to give his running but always likely to be vulnerable.

Form & Verdict
Three Irish chase wins for Joseph O'Brien but the latest of those was in October 2019; unplaced in all nine British starts, during which time his handicap mark has slumped from 135; back from another break and probably worth a market check but others have more obvious claims.

Form & Verdict
Chase winner in Ireland in July 2021, on final start for Henry De Bromhead, but has proved rather disappointing in Britain, though not beaten too far at Fontwell (for Richard Bandey) last month; since sold for £6,500.
