11st 0lb |
Boasts an excellent (8-15) strike-rate over hurdles and posted a career best when winning ten-runner race at Doncaster (3m, soft; length down when left clear two out) in February; has a good attitude and may not have reached his ceiling just yet, but this is more competitive and he's up 5lb. |

11st 12lb |
Following a long absence this 10yo wasn't the force of old last season, and there's a doubt about his stamina nowadays (albeit he was a 3m winner over hurdles in 2020); however, having dropped down the weights he was a close third at Exeter (2m3f) in March on his final outing for Tom George, and he's respected on his first run for the up-and-coming Harry Derham. |

Four-time hurdle winner who was second in 3m handicap at the big Aintree meeting in April 2023, but he's 13lb lower today given that all starts the following season were such a struggle; off 357 days and it's ages since he ran over a trip this short. |

Completing the course has not come easily since he won a handicap chase at Newbury in March 2023 and has been very flat over hurdles this season; has a good bit to prove. |

Arrested his decline when placed at Bangor (2m3f, good) in September and will be fine over today's longer trip but his recent Kempton run was underwhelming and others in this field have much more appealing profiles. |

Runner-up in all three bumpers but has mixed record over hurdles and was tailed off at Fontwell (3m2f) in his final run in the spring; on reduced mark for this chase debut but he's now 0-10 and comes with risks attached after a break; new headgear. |
