Form & Verdict
2m4f winner on heavy here in December; has continued to run well and was headed only late on over this far at Market Rasen last month; doesn't do much in a hurry but that won't matter here and he's a player.

Gained three of his five hurdle wins at this track (2m4f/2m7f) but looked out of sorts and was pulled up here (2m4f, good to soft) on recent chasing debut; should be fine over today's trip but needs to rebound.

Form & Verdict
The tongue-tie has helped, following his near miss at Fontwell with a comfortable success at Newbury (2m4f, heavy) under Freddie Gingell; that's earned him an 11lb higher mark but he's reportedly a late developer who might well have a lot more to offer; unraced over this far but bred to stay well.

Form & Verdict
Quite an emphatic winner of his last two chases (3m2f, heavy; 3m, soft) and returns to hurdling (dual winner) off a 2lb lower mark than last time; cheekpieces are fitted despite his recent progress but he looks sure to take a hand.

The furthest he's been was 3m2f on heavy at Uttoxeter last January and he won that by 11l; would probably have scored there again on reappearance (3m, soft; cheekpieces second time) last month but for a shocking error at the final fence; that's not the only late blunder from him and he's been raised another 5lb, but he could easily have more to give.

Beaten nine times since a successful debut over hurdles here two years ago; some promise over fences this season but reverted to hurdles at Ludlow latest (2m5f, soft) and failed to make any great impression; unraced over this far.

Front-runner; the 3m6f North Yorkshire National is one of two wins over fences but he's been poor in that discipline the last twice; won over 3m at Haydock the time before, also when the mud was flying, and he's only 4lb higher for this.

12yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he ran his best race for some time when fourth at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) in November and when seventh at Ayr last time he was back up in grade; his mark continues to fall and this front-runner, who has won here, could make a bold bid.

Well suited to a slog in the mud but he's a quirky lad who can race lazily and is not the percentage call; tailed off back over hurdles last time and it's hard to know what he'll make of blinkers.
