At the top of his game when winning this 12 months ago (good) off 12lb lower and won again here in November over 3m (comfortably off 6lb lower); his form has cooled, most recently in new cheekpieces here at the Festival, and now has to bounce back under a big weight. |

Productive spell featured wins at Cheltenham (2m4f/3m, good) last April/November; no further progress since, including here, and disappointing favourite at Kempton most recently; headgear now applied; difficult task off current mark. |

11st 7lb |
It was a Class 4 that he won at Ludlow in February (2m5f, good to soft) and went off at 16-1 when then down the field in a Class 3 at Uttoxeter; looks vulnerable, for all that he was a close second to Doyen Quest in this 12 months ago when only 1lb higher. |

Was wearing these blinkers for the second time when he won at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month; this 11yo is 5lb higher today against some unexposed types but he's won over C&D and has an each-way chance. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-11 over hurdles when scoring at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May but he's been vulnerable as favourite in last two starts; drops back in grade after a respectable fifth at Worcester (beaten around 6l) two weeks ago but he needs to find more progress back in trip. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

3-10 over hurdles (2m-2m5f, good); improving 6yo who made a good start for this stable when a close fifth at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and duly built on that when justifying favouritism at Warwick (2m5f) the following month, both times ridden by Megan Bevan; drop back to 2m shouldn't be too much of an issue and he's a big player off 4lb higher. |

Lightly raced 7yo who was progressive in handicaps last season, winning twice (1m7f/2m4f, good to soft/soft), and he shaped as though he needed the run on October's reappearance in a hot handicap at Chepstow; has hinted that 3m will be within range and he could still have more to offer. |

Well beaten in 2022 on his only race at Epsom; move back to Flat this year has seen a resurgence in fortunes over 1m4f on Kempton AW last two starts, in which he was first beaten a nose and then made no mistake; back up another 3lb but return to turf should be fine and he's respected as an in-form contender. |

Three-time hurdle winner; last of five over C&D (good to soft) on last month's chasing debut but faced a fairly tough assignment that day and wasn't beaten far; entitled to have learned from that experience and is well handicapped now; one to consider. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Arguably ran better than eventual 14l defeat suggests when weakening fourth at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month and is now 5lb lower than when winning at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in December; can play a major role if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |
