A dual chase winner at around 3m last season but he's an unreliable type and his more recent form is far less encouraging; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish maiden who registered a first success for his new yard in C&D handicap last May; that was 18 months ago though so he needs to hit the ground running on his comeback if he's to defy a 5lb rise in the weights.

Fell six out here recently but he'd been badly hampered at the previous fence; he won over C&D in May 2022 (lightly raced since) and was a good third at Carlisle this February; could be a contender off a handy mark.

Point winner whose sole success under rules came at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in 2021 when 7lb lower; acts here and on soft; form has tailed off of late but would have claims from this mark if reproducing his Wetherby effort from January.

Gained a first chasing success over C&D in April but he was soon struggling when pulled up on his reappearance at Uttoxeter (3m) last month; blinkers replace cheekpieces; lots more needed.
