Form & Verdict
9yo whose form has deteriorated and he was tailed off at Leicester last month; however, he's now 10lb lower than when second over this C&D (soft) last January and wasn't beaten far when last of five at Kelso (3m2f, soft) two starts ago; not written off in a weak-looking race.

Winning hurdler/chaser on heavy ground; has shown some fair form in points, but was well beaten last time and faces a stiffer task here.

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Battled on well to win small-field Catterick chase (3m1f, heavy) off today's mark in January but looked out of sorts on both subsequent starts over fences; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this first hurdling start since 2021; others look much less risky.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 117

Form & Verdict
Not obviously well treated for this first handicap chase and needs to prove his stamina; however, this lightly raced Irish 6yo has been a fair fourth in beginners' races on his first two chase runs (2m5f/2m1f, soft/heavy) and is worth a second look under promising Irish claimer Carl Millar.

J: Mr Huw Edwards

Some good chase form in 2023-24 season and he won two points early last year; he's in the picture on his best form but has failed to shine on his two point starts this winter.

8 yo Gelding

OR: 120

Form & Verdict
Unproven at the trip and he made mistakes in February on his last chase start (pulled up); however, he showed promise on his chase debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last December and reappeared with a fair third over hurdles at Newcastle (2m1f, heavy) last month; could have a part to play.

Form & Verdict
Second on stable debut at Southwell (3m2f, good) in September but beaten a long way and he's since been pulled up at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft); sole win came back in June 2021; others are preferred.

Only win was in 2021; four runs for this yard, beaten a distance into second first time over fences and pulled up in three subsequent outings (the latest over hurdles); no significance in the return of cheekpieces.
