Form & Verdict
Runner-up three times in a row earlier this year (including over C&D on soft) prior to his seventh in the Scottish National (4m, good), when running well for a long way from 7lb out of the handicap; won this time last year after a break and he's respected on his comeback.

Form & Verdict
Won the novice handicap chase on this card (2m7f, good) 12 months ago and took a step back in the right direction when third of six at Warwick (2m4f, good) on Thursday; the step back up in trip is a likely plus but his chance may hinge on ground conditions (last six wins have come on good).

J: Miss Ellie Callwood

T: L J Morgan

Regressive 10yo who is better known as a staying chaser now; didn't run badly when switched back to hurdling two starts ago (2m7f) and will appreciate today's ease in grade but younger rivals appeal more.

10st 11lb

J: Lewis Dobb

T: L J Morgan

10yo who isn't the force of old but ran some fair races over fences in the autumn, most recently third at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft); continues to edge down the weights and might not be far away if the return to hurdling isn't a problem (three wins in this sphere, which he last tackled in May 2022).

7 yo Gelding

OR: 108

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent last season and down the field at Newcastle in April when last seen; however, he reappears off a mark 1lb lower than when winning over C&D (soft) in November, so can be in the mix if returning to form following a break; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Made it 4-6 over hurdles for current yard with win here (2m6f, good to soft) in May; has also won here over 3m2f on soft; however, he was well beaten on both runs in August and a major revival is required on chase debut.
