2-6 over hurdles; soundly beaten in big-field Cheltenham handicap on latest outing in April but is back in much calmer waters for this chasing debut and his Irish point win in 2022 suggests he could have a good future over fences. |

Usually finds a race a season over hurdles, and this month's C&D second (good; Ravenscraig Castle over 1l behind) was almost it; up another 1lb, but solid claims should the visor debuted there inspire again. |

Back over hurdles for the first time since finishing third to Mack The Man over C&D (good to soft) in May; hasn't been at his best on the Flat lately, weakening quickly when only fifth of six to stablemate Rory The Cat at Musselburgh (1m6f) last week; risky. |

Temptingly treated on the pick of his handicap form at about 2m on ground not too slow; Taunton last time was disappointing (2m3f, good) but coming back to a sharp 2m will help and could run well if his jumping holds up (can make mistakes). |

11st 13lb |
Smart on the Flat in his heyday and won a novice hurdle in 2020 but, following a mammoth absence, looked reluctant to race and never really got involved when 50-1 for last month's stable/handicap hurdle debut (first-time blinkers); current ability very hard to gauge. |

10st 10lb |
Running well at a useful level on the Flat for Keith Dalgleish when last raced in September 2021; had earlier run twice over hurdles, winning a Carlisle novice before a respectable effort raised in class here; comes with risks after so long out (22-1 when unruly at the post for an intended start at Warwick last month) but he's in good hands and couldn't be ruled out; tries blinkers (has run well in a visor). |

Low-mileage 6yo who did well to finish second at Warwick (2m, soft) in January, having become detached from the others after a first-flight jumping error; reportedly unsuited by the heavy ground when well beaten at Doncaster month; moves up in trip here and can go very well if back on song. |

Posted a couple of reasonable fourths at Perth (2m4f, good) in August/September and continues to drop down the weights; however, he was soundly beaten at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

Last season didn't really go to plan and was tried in different types of headgear; added a fifth hurdles win when back to form under Charlie Maggs at Ludlow (2m; second has won since) this month; back up 3lb but still well treated so has to be respected if in the same form here. |

Had become well treated and he duly took advantage on first two starts for the yard, at Southwell (2m4f) and Exeter (2m2f; both on good; has won on soft); failed to find as much as looked likely at Cheltenham since but he's still 2lb below an earlier winning mark and this easier test and drop in grade will suit; good chance for last year's winning yard. |

Out of form in his last four outings (spread over a year, last three over fences) for Sam Thomas and tailed off at 22-1 when making the running on reappearance here (2m5f) four weeks ago; unraced over shorter than 2m3f over jumps; lots to prove. |
