Form & Verdict
His stamina came to the fore on heavy ground at Hexham (3m) last month and he came out on top from runner-up Gibberwell; suited by Hexham but can also run well elsewhere and could be in the mix up 5lb.

J: Tom Midgley

T: Mark Walford

Thorough stayer who made all to win by 14l over C&D (soft) three weeks ago and is now 7-39 over fences; this is more competitive than the races he's used to contesting, though, and he probably doesn't have much margin for error after recent 5lb rise.

Prominent racer who won at Hexham in December (3m, heavy) and at Catterick in January (3m1f, soft); stiffer task here but visor back on; should go well again.

Form & Verdict
Won at Hexham (3m, soft) last April and runner-up there the last twice (3m, heavy), most recently about 2l behind Event Of Sivola; his form away from Hexham in the last 12 months has been patchy, which is a concern, but he'll be bang there if producing another good performance.

His last two wins have come here (including this race in 2023) and he was 8lb out of the handicap when back here last time; however, this 10yo has been pulled up on his last three starts and needs to turn things around.

Form & Verdict
Early faller over hurdles in November on his stable and seasonal debut and no match for Event Of Sivola and Gibberwell when well-beaten fourth at Hexham (3m, heavy) last month on his first chase start; however, this lightly raced 6yo may have needed the run and could get much closer today.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 7yo who returned to form when third at 50-1 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) in October; however, he's since been pulled up at 40-1 on his handicap hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m7f, soft) and has something to prove now tackling fences for the first time.

Very lightly raced since completing a hat-trick as a novice chaser two seasons ago; his Sedgefield form (2m5f) this season has received a few boosts, and latest effort suggests this drop back in trip may prove ideal; enters calculations.
