Form & Verdict
Looked a very promising chaser in summer 2020 but has regressed and become very disappointing; has dropped a long way in the weights and wasn't disgraced when a 14l fourth at Southwell (3m, good) on his return last month but he needs to build on that.

Had the run of things up front when winning at Market Rasen (3m, good) in August; well held in both his runs since, latterly behind Great D'Ange; an easy lead would help but that's not guaranteed.

Form & Verdict
Well treated on his two chase wins at Doncaster (3m, good/good to soft) early last year but he's generally struggled since; laboured at Southwell last time which that took his losing run to 11; well into the veteran stage now.

Form & Verdict
23-race maiden but she made an encouraging chase debut when a 5l third of seven at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; rallied well behind an improver in that race and she shaped as though the step up to this trip could suit.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up in his first two runs this year but he shot back to form with a 47l win at Fontwell (3m2f) in May; that was in a small field but he's only 5lb higher here and has strong claims if he can back that up; last win was on good to firm but first success was on good to soft.

Had very modest 1-21 strike-rate in Irish points and is 0-9 under rules but hasn't been with Laura Morgan long and ran better than eventual 19l defeat might suggest when a weakening sixth at Stratford (3m3f, good) last week; 5lb lower here; not out of this.
