C&D success one of two handicap wins as a novice and has improved in each of his runs this season, going down by about 8l last time at Ayr (3m, soft); now tries cheekpieces and he's back down to his last winning mark. |

Hat-trick late in 2023; well handicapped on last winter's form but the backward steps on his last three starts leave him with plenty to prove. |

Ended last season with a win at Ayr (2m4f, good) then a creditable second over C&D (soft) in the final of this series; could be in the mix on this first run since if he's fully tuned up, but that's the big question. |

Unpredictable over the years for several different stables; easily best effort this season when going down narrowly at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March but was beaten 41l at Uttoxeter on Midlands National day; unconvincing. |

Has a good record fresh, winning first time after a summer break for last two seasons; won over 3m off this at Ayr in October but not quite at his best since; close fourth of five to Breeze Of Wind in this race 12 months ago. |

Formerly smart; yet to be placed for Ben Haslam (mostly chasing) but mark continues to fall and there have been positive signs; not ruled out. |

Smart chaser for Willie Mullins; nothing like as good on recent starts but he's dropped a long way in the weights and wasn't beaten far over hurdles here (2m6f, good) three weeks ago; conditions should be fine on this return to chasing and he's not ruled out. |
