OR: 100

Form & Verdict
Launched chasing career with two wins for Oliver Sherwood in the spring and bounced back from a lesser effort when making all to score by just over 7l over C&D (good; cheekpieces refitted) on last month's stable debut; latest 11lb rise asks a question of him but he's probably still on the upgrade.

J: Conor Ring

Won four chases for others stables in 2023, three of them over 2m4f on good ground here; out of form over hurdles and fences for Ryan Potter since the autumn but has dropped to a low mark and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form & Verdict
Opened hurdling account with hard-fought success at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July, after a break, and made good start to chasing career when second at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last month; can pose a threat if the addition of cheekpieces has any positive effect.

Came good over fences off today's mark at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; had gone right off the boil by the end of last season but can feature here if 163-day break has done him good.

Without a win since 2023 but was placed in three chases last season and continues to edge down the weights; beaten about 20l when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) on latest outing in March but this slightly shorter trip may suit him better; considered each-way.
