Veteran who has failed to show his form the last twice; recorded a game win off this mark at Ayr in November but this is a better contest; opposed. |

11yo who was disappointing at Haydock last time but has otherwise thrived since this visor went on last March, winning three times (2m/2m1f, soft-good; including here); fair third at Kelso (2m, soft) two starts ago and he's no forlorn hope each-way at forecast big odds. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; first switched to Flat in late July, racing over 1m initially before his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 14 days ago; duly raised his game when stepped up to 2m here yesterday, making most and beating all except the easy winner; big player if he's in the same form today. |

2nd 6 (3) |
25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; has had only five races on the Flat, with 1m looking inadequate on first four occasions and 1m2f the same with his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 13 days ago; dropped 2lb and it's not hard to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the much longer trip. |

Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; only had four races on the Flat and a 1m has looked inadequate; however, even 1m2f might not be far enough for him. |

Soundly beaten on both outings this winter (C&D latest) and his losing run is up to 15 (Flat/hurdles); however, this two-time course winner is now below his last winning mark and is capable of going well if back on song. |

The last three (one here) of his wins were over fences and the latest at Cartmel in August; latest hurdles win was back in 2021 but he was placed in four of his six hurdle races last year and is one to take seriously if he can bounce back from a heavy defeat on New Year's Day. |

Won twice over hurdles at Sedgefield (soft) last season; showed up for a long way when third of four finishers at Wetherby (1m7f, good to soft) two months ago on first chase start for current yard (0-4 over fences in France); more required but may well progress. |

Below his best on both runs this winter but didn't run badly over C&D last time and he's now 4lb lower than when winning at Perth (soft) last April; has won twice over C&D, including this race two years ago (good to soft), and he could be dangerous to discount. |

11st 13lb |
Lost his way a bit last season but, with headgear discarded, got back on track with two good-ground wins last month, the latter over C&D; goes well for Charlie Maggs and remains well handicapped on older form; respected. |

Last season didn't really go to plan and was tried in different types of headgear; added a fifth hurdles win when back to form under Charlie Maggs at Ludlow (2m; second has won since) this month; back up 3lb but still well treated so has to be respected if in the same form here. |
