Made it a remarkable nine wins (heavy-good to soft) from his last ten starts when scoring at Chepstow (2m7f) last December; pulled up on his only outing since but that was a tough ask in a hot handicap here four weeks ago, after an absence of nearly a year, and he's not written off.

Form & Verdict
Very effective on heavy ground and very well handicapped on old form; looked out of sorts during light campaign last season and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this first start for eight months but he'll be dangerous if back on song.

Reappeared with good second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) in November and he's not ruled out, but this 9yo has a patchy profile nowadays and was soundly beaten at Sandown (2m7f) last time on heavy ground he should have handled.

Form & Verdict
Started off for David Pipe with two emphatic chase wins on slow ground last season but ended that campaign with disappointing effort in March and made low-key reappearance when switched back to hurdling this month; needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing.

Staged a major revival last May/June and finished well for close third in veterans' event at Sandown (3m) in November, but not so good on latest start; pulled up on both attempts at about 3m5f/3m6f, admittedly two winters back but a stronger promise of stamina would be preferred.

Would probably prefer slower ground and he got outpaced before running on to finish third over 3m1f at Aintree the final time (good; second run for this yard); looks vulnerable for win purposes and he's 1lb wrong at the weights.

Pulled up on final three starts for David Pipe in 2023-24 season but, following a layoff, was in process of running well for new stable before chance-ending jumping error in home straight at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) in December; not seen again since and not sure to be ideally suited by the faster ground here but remains well handicapped on old form.

Form & Verdict
Thorough stayer who gained his latest win in a 3m6f chase on heavy ground in January; current hurdle mark is workable but he's inconsistent nowadays and was tailed off on recent seasonal debut.

12yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he ran his best race for some time when fourth at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) in November and when seventh at Ayr last time he was back up in grade; his mark continues to fall and this front-runner, who has won here, could make a bold bid.
