Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here.

Form & Verdict
In good form over hurdles last month and won when back over fences at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last time, which was his second chase start; beat just three rivals but he's gone up only 2lb and is unexposed in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Made it two wins from his last three starts when scoring at Leicester (2m4f, soft) on March 8 and fair third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) a fortnight ago, when behind two horses with official marks of 120 and 121; he drops back into a 0-110 this afternoon and could play a leading role.

Form & Verdict
Made it 0-20 when below-par fourth at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago (2m4f, heavy; Nine Nine Nine third); however, he's finished second no fewer than 11 times, including over this C&D (heavy) last month, and he can be thereabouts if bouncing back from last time.

13 seconds tell a story but he did get off the mark at the 27th attempt, at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) in January; pulled up next time (3m6f, heavy) and well beaten latest (3m, good) but he's well capable of being bang there on a good day; first time since 2021 that's he's not had his tongue tied.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off (bled from the nose) on his chase and handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago but that doesn't tell the full story as he was going well when making a very bad blunder three out; that was his first run for nearly a year and this unexposed 6yo is an interesting contender.
