Hasn't won since his novice hurdle days (won three on the trot from 1m7f-2m3f); runner-up on second start over fences at Cartmel last time (2m1f, good; winner completed a hat-trick next time); often leads, acts on soft ground and has plenty going for him.

T: Donald McCain

Without a win since scoring over fences in September 2023 and he was 2-7 favourite on that occasion; however, hasn't had a lot of racing since and produced three fair runs during winter off his lower hurdle mark; last run was a backward step but he's no forlorn hope with cheekpieces added.

Hasn't won since scoring over fences here in September 2023 (2m4f, soft; 2-7 favourite); decent run after a wind op when second to a subsequent winner in a 2m handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; chance on that form.

9yo who has returned from a long absence this season and hasn't recaptured his considerable 2023 promise, but he ran well when third off his reduced mark at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last month; has had wind surgery since and he could be in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Won a Pertemps Qualifier over hurdles for Jessica Harrington back in 2020 (3m1f, soft) but hasn't scored since; fair second in a Worcester novice handicap on latest start over fences (2m4f, good; tongue-tie on); a possible.

Easily dealt with by A Different Kind at Uttoxeter latest (2m4f, heavy), having ensured a solid test over a trip at the bottom end of his range; could do with jumping a bit better if he's to make the 11lb swing count, though the new headgear combination may help in that regard.

Won three times over hurdles for Jessica Harrington including the 2020 Pertemps Qualifier at Warwick (3m, soft); not so good in three runs over fences, the latest on second outing for this yard at Leicester in December (2m4f, good); has since had wind surgery and now tried in a tongue tie.

Five-time hurdle winner, including over 2m5f here in October when ridden by Isabelle Ryder, form which gives him a solid chance; beaten 35l at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and needs to bounce back but he's won off a similar break in the past.
