Front-running chaser who can go clear in his races but he's not won since December 2023 and was pulled up in his last two runs over fences; on dangerous mark back in this sphere but he needs a major revival after six months off.

Form & Verdict
High-mileage 11yo with 8-70 strike-rate over fences; swapped usual blinkers for cheekpieces and lost out only by a short head on recent stable debut at Hereford (2m, good); runs here before a 3lb rise takes effect and will be fine over the longer trip; must be considered.

Form & Verdict
Has some quirks and was below form when switched back to hurdling for latest run in September but has largely been consistent over fences this season, and collected a small-field event at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May; could have a say.

Ready winner over 2m7f at Market Rasen in August and he ran at least as well in defeat at Cheltenham in October but he has his share of weight now and soft ground has not been helpful so far.

Lightly raced 5yo who easily won a small-field novice hurdle here (2m3f, good) last December; well beaten after blasting off at strong pace on recent seasonal/chase debut but could still have a good future over fences.

Hit prolonged flat spots before keeping on for modest fourth over 2m on latest two appearances, the latest at Warwick this month; on a good mark now and this step back up in trip could be the right move but it remains to be seen whether Jack Quinlan can keep him in touch this time.

Form & Verdict
4-10 over fences; will be suited by today's trip/ground and his current mark ought to be workable but we haven't seen him since a below-par run in March and he may have a preference for right-handed tracks.

Still going okay until a bad error at Worcester latest, but hard to be confident on the preceding chase and point efforts this year that he'd have gone very close; 0-14 going left-handed versus 4-11 clockwise.
