Form & Verdict
Took advantage of a reduced mark to score convincingly at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) last month; more positive tactics played a key role there and it's possible that he'll be able to dominate again here; could easily go in again despite competing from an 8lb higher mark.

Completed hat-trick when winning here (2m5f, soft) in March 2024; lightly raced since and he got back on the scoresheet at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he can give another good account up 4lb.

Very lightly raced since completing a hat-trick as a novice chaser two seasons ago; his Sedgefield form (2m5f) this season has received a few boosts, and latest effort suggests this drop back in trip may prove ideal; enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Six-time course winner (2m/3m; is yet to win over 2m4f), the latest of which came from an 11lb lower mark (in first-time cheekpieces) last April; demonstrated his current wellbeing when caught close home at Carlisle (2m4f, heavy); should give another decent account.

Form & Verdict
Sole win from 20 starts came over 2m here (stable debut) in November 2021; hasn't stood much racing since though, and was returning from a two-year absence when toiling at Newcastle (ninth of ten; beaten 28l) last month; fairly handicapped, but best watched.

Inconsistent 10yo whose sole win came over C&D (good to soft) in November 2021; lengthy absence before three runs on heavy going this year, easily best of those when third over 2m4f back here on penultimate start; however, he's not completely ruled out back here from just out of the weights and down in trip with the anticipated better ground likely to suit.

Form & Verdict
Suited by making a return to fences when winning over C&D (good to soft; from a 2lb lower mark) last spring; wasn't at his best during the winter, but fared much better off a short break when runner-up to an improving rival at Catterick (3m1f, soft) last week; every chance, with a 2lb rise imminent.

Stays at least this far and was in good form over fences for most of last year, but he has a bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years.

Form & Verdict
Has struck up a fine rapport with Alice Stevens in recent months, only narrowly failing to supplement a Catterick win (2m3f, soft) when beaten by a stablemate at Market Rasen subsequently; this looks a shade more competitive, but he's still shortlisted with conditions likely to suit.
