Form & Verdict
Triple Flat winner at 1m2f-1m3f, including on soft; has run to a useful level in all three hurdle starts and he was tenacious in defeat at Kempton (2m, good to soft) when there was virtually nothing between him and a well-supported useful bumper winner; the one to beat.

About 7l behind Diamond Bay at Goodwood (1m6f, good) on final Flat run but has since won well with the blinkers back on over hurdles, albeit an ordinary handicap; Ashley Lewis also takes off a handy 7lb; could have some role to play.

Generally disappointing over hurdles since Plumpton novice win (2m, good to soft) in early 2024 and not seen in this sphere since down-the-field finish in Ascot handicap in December; in fairly good form on the Flat this year, though, and his current hurdle mark ought to be workable; market may guide.

Form & Verdict
Produced a bright finish after meeting with interference on British debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in November; found nothing on soft ground at Plumpton since but good to soft ground could be important to him; forecast claims back in a novice with cheekpieces on.

Form & Verdict
Three middle-distance Flat wins in 2023, on good and good to firm ground; fair runner-up on hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in August but it wasn't strong form; best opportunities likely to arise in handicaps when the ground dries up.

Four-time Flat winner who made a promising start over hurdles when second over C&D (good) in August 2023; three runs since have been less convincing and hopes appear to rest on the forecast quicker ground having a positive effect.

Showed some promise on Flat debut over 1m for previous yard but little of interest since and he finished remote on debut for new yard on the AW last month; trainer has far better chance with Junkanoo.
