Form & Verdict
Easily made all in four-runner chase at Ayr (2m, heavy) at start of 2023 but has not kicked on from that performance, and finished rather weakly when fourth on both outings this term; on a good mark now and might be aided by the refitted cheekpieces but has a point to prove.

Bounced back from an off day at Sandown to win a small-field Newbury event; this is tougher, but he is generally reliable.

Ran no sort of race at Sandown seven weeks ago but his previous four efforts had all been highly creditable, including a Haydock win (2m, soft; handles good) just before Christmas; no surprise if he bounces back for a yard in form.

Acts on any ground; record of 2212 this term for new yard, most recently clear of the remainder when bidding for a Haydock double (2m); back on career-high mark but looks a solid contender in current form.

Won over hurdles for the Greenall and Guerriero stable in the autumn and was clear second here (2m3f, good to soft) when back over fences for new stable on Boxing Day; below form on heavy ground at Ayr this month but can bounce back.

He's dropped to a mark 9lb lower than when winning at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December 2024 but he's hard to fancy on this season's evidence.

Form & Verdict
Ought to have handled the heavy ground when pulled up over hurdles on latest outing 11 weeks ago and needs to put that performance behind him but finished strongly for emphatic C&D (good) chase win in October and has obvious claims if judged on that performance.

Form & Verdict
Quite useful in his prime but became very disappointing for Sue Smith last season; arrested decline when fourth on last month's stable debut at Hexham (1m7f, heavy), having led over the final fence, but it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance here.

3-5 over fences, with one of the wins gained over C&D; not seen since two below-par runs in September (chase/hurdle) but can make a bold bid from the front if back on song after his break.
