Form & Verdict
Useful hurdler; yet fully to convince over fences after three attempts but stuck to his task pretty well when third behind Oxygen over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago and will be dangerous if his jumping is just a bit more fluent this time; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Three handicap wins over about this trip as a novice chaser last season, the last of which was on good ground; continued to look pretty solid this term until valuable C&D race last time but a bad mistake at the ninth may have scuppered his chance; could bounce back.

Acts on soft ground; scored three times as a novice chaser last season; best efforts this term when second over C&D in November and at Ascot (behind Kotmask) in December; each-way possibilities on that form.

Second-season chaser whose turn looks near, beaten just under 2l by Kotmask at this venue (2m3f) last time; gets a 3lb pull with that rival and is likely to be suited by this return to 2m5f; could well go one better.

Form & Verdict
Grade 2 novice hurdle winner at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) just under a year ago, on just his second start under rules; has not kicked on from that success but his last two hurdle runs were very respectable and his winning Irish point form bodes well for his prospects over fences; had wind op last month and is fitted with a tongue-tie today; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Sole hurdles win was at Cheltenham; likewise 1-7 over fences, with the win in a three-runner handicap at Doncaster (3m, good) in November; made a respectable stable debut (remains in same ownership) when remote second of five over that same C&D but that did not have the stamp of a NH Chase winner; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Below best four weeks ago on final run for Anthony Charlton, but he won a three-runner handicap over this C&D (good) two starts ago and the runner-up went one better next time; versatile ground-wise and not ruled out on stable debut (remains in same ownership).

Useful bumper winner (good to soft) who won three novice hurdles last season (2m3f/2m, soft); held narrow lead before penultimate-fence fall on last month's seasonal/handicap/chase debut at Ascot (2m1f, good to soft) and needs to be taken very seriously.

Useful hurdler; fell on two of his three chasing attempts last season and comes with obvious risk here but proved his wellbeing when placed in competitive handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and has the raw ability to be very dangerous if all goes to plan.

Let down by jumping in his three goes over fences, falling two out at Ascot with the race at his mercy and coming down early when 100-1 for the Arkle; showed useful form in novice hurdles last term, scoring twice over 2m on this course; yet to prove conclusively he stays 2m4f but he's still relatively low mileage and impossible to rule out.

Ex-French 6yo; unplaced all four hurdling starts for Venetia Williams last season but, following a wind op, is 2-2 since switched back to chasing this term, the latter win over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; should be fine on today's slower ground and has plenty of scope for further progress.

Looked an exciting prospect (on the back of a wind op) when landing 2m4f handicap chases at Lingfield and Plumpton this winter but he beat only one at Plumpton last time; he remains with potential though and shouldn't be written off by any means.

Runner-up over fences at Plumpton last November and he's very well handicapped on that form; however, he's struggled to get competitive since and needs to raise his game if he's to add to his sole win (back in 2022).
