4-7 in handicaps, the wins including his first and latest of four starts this term; underperformed on New Year's Day on his sole start here but roared back with a new high when clearcut winner of the Exeter qualifier (2m7f, good to soft); 6lb higher this time but overall he's been progressive. |

Won three successive handicap hurdles last winter and two in a row at about 3m over fences (Newbury and Windsor) this winter; those improved efforts came to an end when he only struggled into third back at Newbury one month ago, which makes others much more persuasive today. |

Promising third on chase debut at Ayr (2m4f, good) in November and won his next two (2m7f/3m, soft); excuses at Cheltenham the next twice, an inadequate 2m5f on the first occasion then being badly hampered early on at the Festival last time; could be on a good mark if things click again. |

Snapped 12-race losing sequence with narrow win at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) last month; well beaten by the first three when fourth of 15 over C&D (soft) last time but that was a hot race and he drops back down in grade today; could have a part to play. |

9yo who snapped 12-race losing sequence when narrowly exploiting reduced mark on reappearance at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; needs a bigger performance now back up in grade but he remains well treated on his old form and should be fine now back up in trip; not discounted. |

Her first three chase starts yielded wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) and Ayr (2m4f, soft); only third of four at Ayr (2m4f, soft) since but that may not be the limit of her ability; won here over hurdles and she's not ruled out. |

Irish point winner; strong 3m handicap hurdle form (good to soft) last spring; pulled up on chase debut and although he jumped well at Warwick next time he was making heavy weather of it from some way out; however, he remains with potential off a good mark if fitting cheekpieces helps. |

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
His first real blip over fences when running no race last time at Haydock; looked good the time before at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) and could easily get himself back on track, for all that his win came off a 9lb lower mark. |

Built upon the promise of his first two chase starts to win by 15l at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; also effective on soft ground (unraced on heavy); a 10lb rise may not stop this unexposed 7yo if he can back up that latest performance. |

12st 0lb |
Only three runs over regulation fences but he was third in a Grade 2 in 2022 and fourth in a good novice handicap here in late 2023; signed off for the Bowen yard last summer with respectable runs over hurdles and hasn't been overly pressed to win two small-field points in Ireland for this stable; positive jockey booking and brings each-way hopes provided a 131-day break doesn't come back to bite him. |

Useful hurdler/chaser when with Tom Lacey but had very disappointing five-race spell with Stuart Coltherd last season and was tailed off behind Tommie Beau over hurdles here on stable debut in May; can cope with slow ground but needs combination of wind surgery and refitted tongue-tie to make a big difference. |
