Easy winner of a four-runner handicap off this mark at Catterick in February (3m1f, heavy); not run quite as well since; usually needs a race after a break.

Won four-runner race by a street at Catterick (3m1f; 1lb higher today) in February; not so good when third in his two starts since (also on heavy) and does not look the percentage call.

Form & Verdict
Has a fine record over fences, winning eight of his 15 races; not at his best this season but has been running in much stronger races; well handicapped and has possibilities now down in grade but testing ground is a concern (has won on soft).

Has won half of his 16 races over fences and should welcome this drop in grade after struggling last season in strong handicaps (his second was remote); has been absent for 12 months so some market confidence would be welcomed.

Form & Verdict
Won Clonmel hurdle in first-time blinkers for Gordon Elliott in December 2022 (3m, soft/heavy); mainly disappointing since, though fair stable debut in a 2m7f handicap chase at Kelso (soft) after a break last month.

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.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner; Haydock winner in December; won 3m6f North Yorkshire National off 3lb lower here last season but disappointing in that race last month; however, conditions are ideal and he could bounce back.

Front-runner, goes well in the mud; 3-3 over hurdles at this track before he fell four out here 19 days ago; led at the time and needs to be taken seriously even though he's an 11yo and does not give his running that often overall these days.
