Form & Verdict
Won off 9lb higher in January 2022 but hasn't enjoyed much fortune lately; failed to finish three of four chasing starts and matters haven't gone his way since reverting to hurdles (hampered at Warwick and unseated at Worcester when still in touch); not out of this if all goes well.

Back in Britain after three unsuccessful runs for an Irish yard in early part of this year; makes stable debut from a workable mark and is versatile regarding ground but he's tricky to weigh up at the moment.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner; had little to beat at Kelso last month (2m, good to firm) but his earlier hurdle win has some merit (two subsequent winners behind); opening mark looks reasonable and not hard to envisage him adding another success.

Two novice wins but beaten favourite on handicap debut in June; all hurdle form over 2m but won an Irish point and the handicap defeat suggested he may need a step up in trip; live claims if that's the case.

Form & Verdict
Two starts for this yard; well beaten in last of six in the first of them but won in ready style at Worcester 11 days ago (2m, good); 6lb rise fair and, with a hurdle record of 2-5, might well be open to progress; shortlisted.

J: Tom Midgley

Fit from the Flat, he ran a respectable third at Fakenham (2m, good) last month without suggesting a win is imminent; his two wins have been at Worcester and best to wait until he reappears there.

Quirky sort but four wins last year, three of them under Kai Lenihan; hasn't recaptured his best in two outings this season but his chance ended at Worcester 11 days ago with a blunder three out; could bounce back.

C&D winner just over a year ago and signs of a revival with two better runs returned here of late, including when not far behind Rocks Up Late and Alshadhian last month; player if reproducing those efforts on better terms.
