Form & Verdict
Went very close off 5lb higher over hurdles at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in February but he's been vulnerable in three runs since including a well-held fifth on his recent chase debut at Worcester; overall record now stands at 1-9 and others are more persuasive.

J: Lee Edwards

T: Henry Oliver

Progressive 9yo who returned from a break with small-field win at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April and also ran well when second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; significant rain will dent his appeal here but otherwise he may still have more improvement to come.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in his sole point and he had form figures of 231332 over hurdles; started his chase career with a good second at Stratford (2m1f, good) in May but he's not gone on from that; his saddle slipped at Worcester (well-held fourth) last time but he's now 1-10 under rules and has a bit to prove.

Won a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in June 2022 (2m, good); some fair efforts over fences and hurdles without winning since, last time finishing creditable fifth in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good; cheekpieces tried); headgear retained; worth considering.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in his first three hurdle runs but he's struggled in three handicaps (2m3f-2m7f) in that sphere; still lightly raced but he returns from another break and needs a transformation on this switch to chasing.

Safely held in handicaps at Ascot (2m3f) and Cheltenham (2m5f) in the autumn and not seen again since but returns in an easier race and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

All four runs have been on good ground; made his debut in late August and was runner-up at about this trip over hurdles on first three starts; last of six, however, on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f) 13 days ago and needs to bounce back from that.
