Form & Verdict
Just 1-9 over hurdles but drew nicely clear on run-in to make winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in May; 6lb rise is manageable if she's fully tuned up after 160-day absence; might be the answer.

Launched chasing career with two convincing wins last year (2m5f/2m3f); not much has gone to plan since but she may not have handled the heavy ground on last month's seasonal debut and may yet bounce back; new trip.

The first of his two chase wins (from 19 attempts) was over C&D in 2022 and he was runner-up back here on reappearance this term; ran respectably at Southwell last time and should figure prominently in this field.

Bit of a mixed bag since winning off 11lb higher here (2m, good to soft) in March last year, his second of eight at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on his return last month (has a good record fresh) surrounded by lesser efforts; others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
2-7 over hurdles, the latter win gained by a nose at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in May; bumped into an improver when well-held second at Uttoxeter the following month; chasing debut after 138-day break but should have a future over fences.

Made all to win this race in pretty good style off 3lb lower in 2025 (heavy ground) and returns here after making the frame on both starts this year (2m5f, good to soft/soft); ought to make a bold bid.
