Form & Verdict
Bumper winner in France in 2021; mostly disappointing in Britain and changed hands for £4,500 early last month, but he put that right when runaway winner of a handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) five days ago as 6-5 favourite for his new connections; this is over hurdles instead but he's just 5lb higher and it's a weak race; excellent chance to complete a quick double.

Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit.

Has won four handicaps since last July - three chases (one here) and a hurdle race; needs to bounce back from two quiet runs over fences but there's nothing wrong with his mark over hurdles; stable won this last year.

Won a weak bumper in 2021 but hasn't improved for hurdles; tried 2m4f and 3m in her two handicaps, whereas this is 2m, but she does not make great appeal.

Capable when on song as she showed when going down narrowly under a positive ride at Cartmel (2m6f, good); up just 3lb and she can follow one good run with another.

Struck form in the autumn, most notably when holding on well to win from the front at Hexham (2m4f, soft), but ran poorly this month, after a break, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.

Unable to get seriously competitive on any of his three appearances this year (2m-2m4f) and now 0-18 over hurdles; 5lb out of the weights today; needs to prove some ability remains.

Has 0-31 strike-rate and is 2lb wrong today but ran quite well when upped to 3m over hurdles at Ayr (soft; also suited by good) in March and remains unexposed over this trip; back over fences today; not ruled out.
