0-6 over fences earlier in career but highly progressive over hurdles since joining this yard last season; in good form in that sphere the last twice and has a 9lb lower mark to work with now back chasing; course hurdle form figures read 112; very interesting.

Scored twice over fences (around 3m) in March 2024; back from two years off in good nick, runner-up over 3m2f at Chepstow last month; can race off the same mark here so he's a player with Harry Cobden taking over.

Not an unlucky loser, but may have run Broomfields Cave closer at Wincanton latest without pecking two out (3m1f, good); respected now back on track, though notably remains winless around a galloping track.

J: Charlie Price

T: Robbie Llewellyn

Completed a double over fences at Taunton (2m7f, soft) in March 2024 but he's returned from 690 days off with two underwhelming runs (hurdles/chase) this spring; looks well handicapped on his old form but he needs to raise his game on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Won here last autumn on first two chase starts (2m7f/2m4f, good) before solid third at Newcastle (2m7f, good); different ground today but he was going okay when unseating seven out at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month; wears first-time cheekpieces and he's one to consider.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Fairly useful handicap chaser who exploited his novice hurdle status over C&D (good) in July, finishing well to pip Yellow Card; has more to do at these weights and is much more exposed than some of these but will be favoured if the emphasis is on stamina.

Either or both the class 2 company and drop back to 3m compromised him in Uttoxeter's Summer Cup latest (blinkers debuted there retained); untried over today's even shorter trip since November 2023 and over hurdles for longer still, so hard to see how this assignment plays to many strengths.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Stays well, as his two performances over 3m4f at Haydock attest; finished well for second over 3m1f at Aintree (good) most recently; not crying out for this drop back to 3m but may be aided by new headgear; represents last year's winning yard.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 5yo who won comfortably on his chase debut at Auteuil (2m1f, very soft) last May; however, unable to replicate that form on his three British starts (over fences the last twice); has to raise his game.

Pulled up when upped in trip on handicap hurdle debut at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in December; however, he showed signs of promise previously over hurdles and this very lightly raced 3m point winner (soft to heavy) is open to improvement now tackling fences; wears first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces.

Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a close second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last May; absent since; in the shake-up if resuming where he left off; it's a long time since he raced on soft/heavy ground but he won on soft going in October 2023.

Now 4lb lower than for last summer's 40-1 win at Worcester (2m4f, good), but hasn't come close to matching that performance in his subsequent hurdling starts.

Form & Verdict
His jumping lacked fluency when he was tailed off on chase debut at Market Rasen on Boxing Day; something to prove over fences but he's a four-time winner over hurdles here (soft/good) and the return to this track could prompt a big performance.
