10 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Is progressing steadily for his current yard and he easily got off the mark over fences in five-runner handicap over C&D 22 days ago; hiked up 8lb but he's still not taken lightly.

Form & Verdict
Looked a chaser on the up when bagging a pair of 2m4f handicaps at Leicester and Haydock either side of Christmas; pulled up in a highly competitive Cheltenham handicap chase in January but he remains one to be interested in after a break off a 2lb lower mark.

12st 1lb

J: Jack Hogan

T: Alex Hales

Scored at Warwick (3m, good to soft) in December but he's failed to complete in three subsequent runs and didn't get very far at Stratford (unseated at first) two weeks ago; only 2lb lower than for his last success but he comes with risks attached.

Scored at Warwick (3m) in December but he isn't the easiest to catch right and was pulled up in 2m7f handicap at Newbury last time; others are preferred.

11st 7lb

J: Kielan Woods

T: Alex Hales

Back to form when winning for a third time over fences in a 3m handicap at Warwick (good to soft) and would have won easier had he not idled late on; unseated midrace off this 4lb higher mark at Leicester three weeks later; respected.

Form & Verdict
Got back on track in first-time blinkers when gaining her breakthrough chasing success at Lingfield (2m4f) last month; she needs to back it up off a 3lb higher mark now though.

Ran well on both previous visits to Cheltenham, latterly when second of 13 in December (2m4f, good to soft); below that form lately but will be fine over today's trip and Harry Cobden is an interesting booking.
