Form & Verdict
Maiden point winner last November who was 3-3 in novice hurdles this March/April, scoring easily in all three and that includes a 2m3f race on heavy and a 3m Listed event at Perth (good to soft); so much to like about his recent chase debut at Carlisle too, until he unseated three out when travelling well upsides the winner; this is his first handicap and he gives lots of weight all round but he's a smart prospect who may well atone for that mishap.

Acts on heavy ground; the only C&D winner in this field, ran well in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham (3m) most recently and represents a trainer who landed this prize two years ago; therefore has respected credentials and cannot be dismissed.

Strong traveller who has won two small-field handicaps this season but Stay Away Fay had too much for him in 3m Sandown Grade 2 on soft ground in December; pulled up in Kauto Star at Kempton later that month on his other attempt at Graded level; playing for minor honours unless his form takes a leap forward.

Form & Verdict
Had a first stab at chasing late last year, which was shortlived, but he's been back over fences for last four starts and registered a second followed by three wins; they were all in small fields but the latest was on soft (more to prove after two runs on heavy) and this return to 3m can help.

Form & Verdict
Sent chasing in June and has won twice from four attempts in this sphere; ran well in defeat last time (August) and the ease of his 2m7f win on soft ground on penultimate start appears to give him a good shout.

Safely held in last two chases but beat Secret Trix by 4l to score at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) on latest hurdling start in June and is now only 2lb above that mark; also suited by this track; can make his presence felt.

All three chase wins have been over C&D, including in this equivalent race in 2023; equally effective over hurdles with three wins, the most recent at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month; last of five finishers when back over fences at Cartmel (3m1f, good) last time but cannot be dismissed around here.

All good since joining Stuart Edmonds and deserved his 2m7f win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (by 4l; good); up 4lb for this return to fences but he's a three-time winner in this discipline.

Form & Verdict
Switched to chasing in five-runner races on soft ground for last three starts, back to form on last two occasions (3m/2m4f); off since April and in this field it's a little disconcerting that his only win came in a novice hurdle in 2020; he's also 3lb out of the handicap.
