Form & Verdict
Ran well at Lingfield (2m7f) in November but was let down by his jumping over the same C&D since; still a maiden and chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

Form & Verdict
Point winner who has duly taken well to rules fences, winning at Hereford (3m1f, good) and Taunton (3m2f, good to soft); could well improve further and defy another small rise in weights.

In good form since wearing reapplied visor, opening his chase account at Hereford (good to soft) then second at Warwick (soft), both over 3m1f; holds solid claims in the same headgear.

Ridden prominently; acts on heavy and stays well; sole chase win (11 attempts) came off 3lb lower at Hereford one year ago; not far off that form when putting up a bold show at Lingfield four weeks ago, which puts him into serious calculations.

J: Jack Tudor

T: David Pipe

Remains 3lb above his most recent winning mark in January and lacks consistency but he's capable on his day and didn't run badly from the front in the refitted visor (retained) at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) 12 days ago; comes with risk but handles heavy ground and could go well again.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism at Southwell (3m, good to soft) last month on second chase attempt, adding to his bumper/hurdle wins; open to further progress in this sphere; shortlisted.

Hurdle winner whose latest success was in a Southwell chase (3m, good to soft) in January; jumping let him down in that sphere in May and he needed the run back hurdling last month; looks to have share of weight.

Form & Verdict
Scored only narrowly at Plumpton (2m3f, soft; second chase attempt) last month but the runner-up gives the form a solid look; however, has stamina to prove on first outing beyond 2m5f.
