Form & Verdict
Absent since July 2022 and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains; however, this point winner (yielding to soft) is in good hands and went close in a maiden hurdle at Perth (2m4f, good) when last seen; he's one to consider on his comeback.

Won two selling hurdles for Olly Murphy last season but struggled (albeit on heavy ground) in two handicaps for new stable in February and returns from ten-month break with a lot to prove.

Competitive at plating level this winter for Olly Murphy, winning two sellers; heavy ground was no excuse last week when tailed off in a handicap on stable debut; blinkers return in place of cheekpieces but he's 3lb lower in future.

Form & Verdict
Below par in June on final run for Henry de Bromhead and same story on stable debut at Wincanton a fortnight ago; however, he may have needed that latest start and his best Irish form puts him firmly in the picture.

Won on the Flat in May but was safely held on both hurdling starts this year (both in 2m handicaps in July) and reverts to this code after a very poor Flat run last month; stablemate Chillhi looks a safer option.

Had a good run of form in 1m2f-1m5f handicaps (1423) before tailed off in his last two hurdle races and he's a dual winner in that scene; some wellbeing concerns all of a sudden.

Won twice over hurdles in the autumn (2m4f/2m7f) and has been in good form on the Flat in recent weeks but was well beaten when back over hurdles on Saturday (2m; raced too freely) and has a point to prove here.

Form & Verdict
Won Taunton maiden (2m, heavy) in March and a novice here (2m, good) in September; unsuited by the return to fences at Southwell last month but he's a leading contender now back over hurdles.

Five-time hurdle winner, including over 2m5f here in October when ridden by Isabelle Ryder, form which gives him a solid chance; beaten 35l at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and needs to bounce back but he's won off a similar break in the past.

Fit from the Flat, he ran a respectable third at Fakenham (2m, good) last month without suggesting a win is imminent; his two wins have been at Worcester and best to wait until he reappears there.
