Form & Verdict
Beaten on his last 15 starts and there's a major re-think on trip today; however, he's run pretty well when runner-up over 3m here (soft) the last twice and this in-form contender could be thereabouts.

Not the force of old and might be better suited by right-handed tracks but ran well from the front when close fourth in open point at left-handed Chaddesley Corbett (3m, good to soft; also suited by soft) last month; considered each-way.

Useful handicapper chaser when trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, with a good record at this track; this season's pointing form for new stable has been underwhelming, though, and he was safely held when fourth in a Leicester hunter chase (2m, good to soft) last month.

Form & Verdict
Ex-French 8yo who won on his British debut here (2m4f, good to soft) in January 2023; hasn't gone on from that and he's been well beaten on both outings this season, but he's the type to get back on track at some point.

Just 1-14 over fences and needs to run better than on his two starts this winter, but he twice finished runner-up off higher marks last spring and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will give him a boost; not discounted.

Nothing like the force of old but is handicapped accordingly now; dropped another 2lb since last month's very respectable fourth at Ludlow and will be suited by the return to this C&D; can make a bold bid from the front.

Form & Verdict
Fortunate to finish 7l second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in January as two of those ahead of him exited the race at the final fence; however, that form has worked out well and the drop back in trip should be in his favour; on the shortlist.

Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning.

Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday.

Form & Verdict
Headstrong sort who is inconsistent and was pulled up last time; however, he was found to have an irregular heartbeat and was uncharacteristically held-up, which may not have suited; has dropped to a dangerous mark and he was a fair third over C&D last November; not written off.
