Form & Verdict
His last three wins have come here, the latest in July (2m4f, soft), and he went close here (2m4f, good) last month; fair fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good) last week; drops back down to 2m but could be in the mix now back here.

Returned to form at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) on Wednesday, when he was reeled in after blasting off in front but kept on gamely for second; also suited by this C&D and a recent 2lb drop has now taken effect but he had a hard race at Perth and has become inconsistent.

Veteran; 12-94, four of those wins coming at his beloved Perth; showed up well for much of the contest at Hexham (2m, soft; third, beaten 33l) on Saturday evening, before tiring markedly on the uphill climb; the better ground is in his favour here but this is a quick turnaround.

Form & Verdict
Only fifth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month on first start since wind op but it wasn't a bad run and he continues to drop down the weights; this headstrong sort may be suited by the drop back to 2m and he's a possible.

No win since his juvenile campaign; long absence prior to two efforts this term, seeming to need July run then faring better in October; still needs to prove he retains peak ability but market support should be noted.

Form & Verdict
10yo who returned to form when easily winning three-runner handicap chase here (2m, soft) in July last time out; the strength of that performance is open to question but he won in July 2021 (2m4f, good) when he last tackled hurdles and is entitled to respect.

Comfortably won three-runner chase at Perth in July, his sixth start over fences, and was very respectable third when back over hurdles there (also 2m, soft) last month, but some of his younger rivals look more interesting here.

Form & Verdict
It remains to be seen how he'll be suited by the drop back in trip having been placed over 3m here (soft/good) on his last three starts, but the fact he arrives in good form is certainly a plus and he's not discounted.

Irish-trained 5yo who has produced fair performances the last twice (2m4f/2m5f, good; including here); he needs something extra to get off the mark today but the drop back in trip may help and he might not be far away.

Course winner on soft ground in October last year off 90 over 21.5f and 2lb lower now; best run since when beaten 6.25l over this C&D in August but no impact in two runs since; visor now tried instead of cheekpieces and hard to know what to expect.

Sole win did at least come here over hurdles last October and again ran well back here in that discipline two starts back; however, he was soon in trouble when tailed off on his chase debut at Kilbeggan only last Friday (beaten too far out to blame the trip of 3m1f); cheekpieces tried.

Headed close home (Castel Gandolfo third) in this race last year; doesn't arrive in anywhere near the same kind of form this time around after finishing tailed off (beaten 50l) over 2m4f here last month; easing mark isn't enough to make a viable threat.

Four wins over hurdles; had few chances on the Flat but she won at Ayr in September (1m5f, soft) and showed better form when third over 1m7f 11 days later; still has some potential in this sphere and a hurdle run last month should have sharpened her up; might need more of a stamina test than this though.

Easy winner off a 10lb lower mark after a break at this meeting last year (fifth over 2m here in April 2024); won another race over C&D off a pound lower than here in May (good) and also on the Flat at Ayr in September (soft); interesting.

Form & Verdict
Regressive on the Flat and not overly convincing over hurdles in the spring, when he jumped to the right and/or failed to settle; however, this 4yo wasn't without promise and he makes his handicap hurdle debut after a wind op, for a trainer who does well here; no surprise to see a good run.
