Form & Verdict
Winless in a brief hurdle career but this is his game and he made an immediate impact on the switch to fences with a clear Warwick win (2m4f, soft); found only a fellow improver marginally too good at Plumpton since (2m3f, good to soft; third has won since); up 3lb but a likely type for yard that won this in 2020.

J: Ciaran Gethings

Rallied for a near miss over C&D in December (Regal Renaissance challenging when falling) and he was part responsible for the strong pace off which Rodney won at Hereford (2m5f, soft); capable of being involved should this pan out more favourably.

Won this race on chasing debut in 2023 and was also on target at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) the following January; drew a blank and became rather disappointing last season but can be very dangerous off current mark if revitalised after 225-day break.

Form & Verdict
Good strike-rate over fences for the yard, winning 4-8, most recently a four-runner race over C&D (good; equally effective on soft); not far off that level when third of eight finishers in another veterans' race at Cheltenham last month and he looks good for another big run.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced but he was an up-and-coming chaser two years ago, looking a big improver when winning at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft; off 5lb lower) but seen just once more that season; off for 22 months after; travelled well for a long way at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) before Christmas and although this trip is new territory he's not a tearaway type; interesting.

Absent since below-par run at Carlisle in February 2022 but he was an easy winner at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) the time before and this lightly raced 9yo is still unexposed over fences; represents leading yard and needs a close look on his comeback.

Form & Verdict
Acts on good to soft but it was soft when he achieved his best result, a handy Warwick win (2m) last March; has had two poor results this term since back from a break, way off his best back hurdling in December latest; stamina query over this far (weak finisher in a 2m3f chase last winter) and the first-time tongue-tie has a big job to do.

Form & Verdict
Two chase wins in early 2023, over 2m (soft) and 2m3f (good to soft), and twice ran well in defeat during March; however, he's had two serious off days in his last three starts, apparently never travelling at Ascot three weeks ago, which leaves a question mark hanging over him.
