Form & Verdict
Quirky but he's 2-2 since wearing a visor, winning over 1m4f at this course (narrowly) and Wolverhampton (beat two rivals who were out of the weights); takes on some interesting rivals but has solid claims with AW record now 5222211; mark unchanged.

Won four in a row on Tapeta for Barry Brennan in early part of this year (two at this track); has run with credit on turf since for Tom Dascombe in June/July and his current trainer; returns to AW following a break and has been gelded; any market move should be noted.

Recent form has been patchy, but he's now 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in May; each-way claims if he can reproduce that sort of form; stable also runs Hosanna Power.

Both wins at 1m2f, on good to firm and the AW; third at Beverley last month before struggling in a Class 4; could go well, though has mostly steered clear of slow ground.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 41122 since wearing cheekpieces, most recently 1l second to Dunstan on same terms at Wolverhampton (1m4f); takes on some possible improvers but has a solid chance in the retained headgear.

Struck form with two 2m3f wins at Fontwell (good to soft/soft) this winter, and may not have been suited by heavy ground when disappointing on latest outing (2m4f); could have a say if suited by this new trip.

Dual Flat winner who has come good over hurdles with wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft/soft) on last two starts; up another 6lb but that was a smooth success last time and he's open to more progress; highly respected in hat-trick bid.

Form & Verdict
Has shown consistent promise at maiden/novice level and latest effort (Wolverhampton 1m4f) suggests this slight drop back in distance will suit on handicap debut; open to improvement and looks interesting.

Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix.

2-15 over hurdles; winless this campaign but it started quite well and the third at Sandown in December was in a first-time visor that now returns having been missing the last twice; on a fair mark if factoring in Murray Dodd's claim; could stage a revival.
