Form & Verdict
Failed to deliver on bumper promise over hurdles last season but, with cheekpieces fitted, has made a good start to chasing career; ridden out to score by just over 3l at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and has plenty of scope for further progress; major player, albeit with a concern if the ground is worse than good.

Form & Verdict
Yet to build upon his winning chase debut at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) in November but ran well for a long way when third here (2m, good) in first-time visor three weeks ago and is another 2lb lower today; probably worth another crack at 2m4f; seems best on good ground.

Four of his six wins have been at this track, three of which over 2m; has lost his way, however, since the last of those in May last year off 7lb higher; well handicapped if he can return to form after absence of 223 days.

Form & Verdict
Looked as good as ever when winning at Stratford (2m3f, heavy; also suited by good) in April, his sixth chase success, but three lesser efforts have followed and he's not an easy one to predict.

Form & Verdict
Returned from a break with two very disappointing performances in May but, following a wind op, fared much better when third at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and should cope if the ground softens; must be considered.

Ex-Irish maiden who was pulled up here (3m, good) on stable debut a week ago in first-time cheekpieces; may come good for Laura Morgan at some stage but it takes a leap of faith to support him at present.

Eight-race maiden for four different yards and he was pulled up over fences (2m4f) and hurdles (3m) in his two runs last year; tongue-tie is now added and he has a lot to prove after another absence.
