Stays 3m1f; has become inconsistent over fences and hurdles but ran encouragingly, clear second, in new headgear at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) most recently; still well treated on peak form; possibilities in the retained visor.

Inconsistent over fences last season and absent since a down-the-field hurdle run in March; resumes on a workable mark but he's 1-10 in this sphere and is probably not the percentage call; equipment reapplied.

Has C&D form and he won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f on good to soft; 3m1f on heavy) last midwinter; mixed results since but back on his latest winning mark and adding cheekpieces could help; ought to go well.

Won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f/3m1f) last winter and latest was off 1lb lower on heavy ground; looks interesting on that form but he's been up and down since and was pulled up here on Boxing Day; needs to bounce back again after that and he comes with risks attached.

J: Sean Houlihan

Both wins at Wincanton, the latest in a 3m handicap in 2023, but he's dropped to a handy mark and the latest run at Newbury (3m, good to soft), his third since returning from an absence, suggested he could be interesting with this lesser stamina test; can figure.

Gained his only wins at Wincanton in 2022 and 2023; not disgraced when runner-up in Class 5 at Lingfield (2m7f) most recently but looks unlikely to go one better in this stronger contest.
