11st 2lb |
Kicked off last season with two valuable C&D wins (soft/good), the latter in this race and he's just 1lb higher today; in and out in his four races since but his fourth here in February was creditable, as was his strong-finishing third in top 3m2f handicap at Newbury three weeks ago; capable of jumping better than he did at Newbury and big chance if everything clicks again on his return to Ascot. |

Ex-French 6yo whose British form features notable 3m wins at Ascot (soft/good) last November/December, making a bright start to his 2023-24 campaign; mixed results afterwards but this looks the time to catch him, especially with the yard in great form; interesting on reappearance. |

One of two runners for yard and looks the first string on jockey bookings; won a 28.5f Grade 3 handicap off 133 at Haydock last February; ran a cracker to finish a 3.75l third off 140 in the Troytown behind Stuzzikini on his seasonal return; will strip fitter now and should be thereabouts again off 2lb higher. |

Back in better form at Ascot the last twice; good record at Kempton features three wins (2m4f/3m) and he returns here off a very attractive mark; big player, provided he takes well to new headgear. |

Mastered Whacker Clan two out in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, soft) five weeks ago and beat him 18l into third, facing an impossible task however against Inothewayurthinkin who has since added an impressive Grade 1 novice win at Aintree; has never been further than that big-race second over 3m2f but has had entries in major staying handicaps and may well be suited by today's test. |

23rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Very promising novice hurdler in 2020-21; unable to hit the same heights over fences last season, following a near-two-year absence, but he had wind surgery (his third) in August and reappeared with a win at Exeter (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago when he travelled much the best before hanging on by half a length; up 6lb but could have more to offer. |

Very promising novice hurdler in 2020-21; missed all of last season but made encouraging chase/handicap debut in December (2m3f) and didn't run badly before looking a non-stayer over 3m last month; drops back in trip here and is 5lb lower now; dangerous to ignore. |

Has struggled on both runs this season, but the first was his reappearance and the second was on soft ground; progressive last term and if this prominent-racer gets into a rhythm in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces), he'll be just the type Bryony Frost excels with; not written off. |

Belatedly came good over fences with Newbury win (2m7f, good) off 2lb lower a year ago but was well beaten on only appearance this season (at Ascot in December) and may need the ground to dry out here; others have more pressing claims. |
