Form & Verdict
Could be the refusal to settle on his third race in 15 days scuppered the hat-trick bid more than the penalty when last seen in March, but revised mark still leaves him above any he's ever defied; has needed his first run back in most recent seasons, including when fourth in this last year.

J: Nick Scholfield

Scored over C&D (good to soft) on seasonal debut in November and has remained in good form since but usually knocks about in Class 5 races and may find a couple of today's rivals too strong.

Form & Verdict
Cut out the mistakes when making all at Hereford 15 days ago (2m, good), doing enough despite having refused to settle; remains competitively treated despite a 4lb re-raise, and corner may have been turned.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Has modest strike-rate and is very inconsistent but has slipped to a good mark and ran well over C&D on his only previous visit Fakenham; cheekpieces (missing when tailed off at Fontwell last month) are refitted here; can be dangerous if in the right mood.

Form & Verdict
Third on all three completions over fences and equally effective on good and slower, but overall career analysis reads 0-23, and wasn't finishing off her races strongly when last seen in the summer.

Dual C&D winner, latterly on good ground last April; her infrequent going days are difficult to foretell, though, and she was soundly beaten here (2m2f) ten days ago; 1lb out of the weights.

Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed.

T: Karen Jewell

Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Flat bred but jumped fine bar one early blemish on this month's Hereford chasing debut, just finding the near-2m5f too far; drop in trip and from 0-120 both rate positives; yard had a winner here last week.

Just denied an elusive first chase win at Wexford in July (2m, good to yielding); record of 17 completions from 20 chase starts rates a plus, an unruly display on last month's stable debut rather less so.
