Progressive over fences last season when winning here and over 3m6f elsewhere; the glaring concern is his laboured reappearance a month ago over 3m2f at Chepstow, where he has form. |

0-7 over hurdles and the same over fences but he's been a consistent sort for Tom Gretton, including a big run from out of the handicap in the Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, soft) last time; tongue tied on last two outings; needs each-way respect on this debut for new yard. |

11st 11lb |
Stays this far so it was an encouraging effort when keeping on for second over 2m4f here recently (soft; has won on good), especially as the winner has since gone on to complete a hat-trick; last time was also a rare appearance without any aids and that's again the case; Ben Bromley is also able to claim this time; feared. |

11st 11lb |
Won over C&D just under a year ago and ran game race when close second over C&D (again on soft) in December; ran poorly at Exeter last month but was given a wind op soon afterwards and the return to this track is an obvious plus; swaps blinkers for refitted cheekpieces; can't be ruled out. |

10st 12lb |
Came good over fences at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in early February and was runner-up twice on heavy ground last month (3m1f/3m); contests a deeper race here but will be suited by the quicker conditions and is well worth a crack at the marathon trip. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Defied a similar mark in good fashion at Exeter 13 months ago (3m, good to soft; only four runs back); ran well for a long way on reappearance but was tired when pulled up again on heavy ground at Exeter 17 days ago; under these less demanding conditions she should go well if as good as she was. |

Returned to form with 6l C&D (good to soft) win just under a year ago and put in good front-running shift when fifth on heavy ground here on seasonal reappearance in January; one to consider. |

1st Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very well handicapped on some of last year's placed form but returned from break with three below-par runs in the autumn and needs to turn a corner; won a heavy-ground hurdle in France in 2021 but may be best suited by good ground. |

11st 13lb |
Won three in a row on slow ground (2m7f-3m4f) when cheekpieces were added last February/March and ran big race in defeat over C&D (soft) when back in action in December; had to settle for fifth behind Planned Paradise at Windsor (3m4f, soft) last month but wasn't beaten far and remains of interest. |

Won three in a row on slow ground (2m7f-3m4f) when cheekpieces were added last February/March and continued his progress when close/clear second on last month's reappearance at Exeter (3m6f, soft); another 5lb higher today but might still be on the upgrade; respected. |

12st 0lb |
Has form figures of 22414 since returning from a break in October and was only beaten around 3l when a fourth of six at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) last month; 1lb lower here and he should go well again back in trip for in-form yard. |

Twice runner-up earlier in the season and came good with a decisive win at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft), having previously looked a non-stayer over 3m1f; a 5lb rise for last time seems fair and 2m6f will be within range. |
