10yo who has modest 2-29 strike-rate but he won at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) last March on third start for this yard and was runner-up there (2m4f, soft) in October; stretched by the extended 2m7f here last time out and could have a big say now back down in distance.

Has modest 2-28 career strike-rate and is not the force of old but his chase win was gained on heavy ground and he posted a sound effort when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month; tries a new trip here; contender if stamina holds out.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up on last month's chase debut at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) and has something to prove after that; however, this lightly raced 6yo showed some ability over hurdles and her trainer's horses tend to make better chasers; still early days and not written off.

J: Derek Fox

Best effort when running away from 12 rivals at Hexham (3m, heavy) in April 2024; hasn't always had suitable conditions since, and she lost a shoe when bidding for a win in the same race 201 days ago; may still have some potential and she's now only 2lb higher than for the win.

Form & Verdict
3m point winner who went back up in trip here (2m7f, soft) in November on his second chase start and earned a narrow win at 33-1; just 3lb higher today and shaped last time as though he'd cope with this shorter distance; major player if backing up that latest performance.

Form & Verdict
Probably fortunate to win maiden hurdle here (2m4f, good) in November 2022; has failed to progress but he jumped to the left on occasions when fifth on last month's chase debut at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) and is a possible improver now going left-handed; lightly raced and not written off.

Something to prove having been pulled up at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) latest; however, his chase debut fifth at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December wasn't devoid of promise, when jumping to the left at that right-handed track, and this lightly raced 6yo is not written off now in cheekpieces.

Lightly raced point winner who ran well for quite a long way on last month's handicap and chase debut at Hexham (3m, heavy), and perhaps he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; however, he's a long way out of the handicap once more and others have more compelling claims.
