Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who was 3-6 over hurdles last season (wins were at about 2m4f); beaten 22l on his chase debut at Ludlow (3m handicap) but would have been appreciably closer but for suffering interference four fences out; perhaps wants further than this but respected.

Second runner for yard; won five times over hurdles and once over fences when trained in UK; three chase starts for this yard with best run coming when fifth at Limerick; needs a fair bit more.

J: Calum Hogan

T: E McNamara

Useful performer for Henry Daly, winning six races, including an Ascot handicap chase; modest form in two starts for this stable, albeit trip and testing ground probably not ideal on latest; new cheekpieces need to spark.

Form & Verdict
Jumping issues saw chase career aborted after just two attempts last season; steadied the ship with good runs in strong handicap hurdles here (2m3f, good to soft) and at Sandown (2m4f, soft) since and connections evidently keen to give fences another go; this mark is no gift but hard to rule out.

Soundly beaten in novice handicap chase here in sole run this term; good third off 7lb higher in this race two years ago but it's not clear whether he's still capable of the same form.

Form & Verdict
Good hurdler for Philip Hobbs who finished fifth in last season's Imperial Cup at Sandown; looked a fairly safe conveyance when runner-up off this mark to JPR One (unlucky last week at Cheltenham) on his switch to fences at Newton Abbot (2m, heavy); has won on good to soft; solid chance.

Finally exploited his much reduced mark when coming clear at Ffos Las a month ago (2m4f, good to soft), where he reportedly appreciated the drying ground; a 5lb rise might not prevent him from following up.

All three wins in 2022; twice second in the mud at Uttoxeter (2m4f) last spring but well beaten all five starts from November onwards, even when the cheekpieces returned back at Uttoxeter on latest; another career-low mark.
