Capable hurdler off this sort of mark for Evan Williams (won twice at about 2m); beaten when falling late on at Haydock in December but that race was won by last week's Aintree winner El Jefe; one to consider on chase/stable debut.

Started off for this stable with two Bangor chase wins in the spring (2m1f/2m4f) but not much has gone to plan since; weakened very tamely in home straight at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) this month and needs to be galvanised by first-time cheekpieces here.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on his winning form just over a year ago when in a different yard; his penultimate third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) offered some encouragement but then had a backward step at Stratford (2m1f); others safer.

20l behind Force De Frap at Stratford in March, but significant return to form at Bangor since, just failing to get up in time (2m1f, soft); still well treated on 2023's winning form despite a 3lb re-raise, and just a matter of whether a sharp 2m on good is too much of a speed test now.

Form & Verdict
Was 3lb below his winning mark over hurdles when making it second-time lucky over fences in a 2m1f handicap at Market Rasen (good to soft; has won on heavy), where he made all to win by 16l; lightly raced and could easily cope with the 10lb hike.

Form & Verdict
Travelled well throughout to win a small-field handicap chase at Huntingdon off just 2lb lower and his defeat at Fakenham was over hurdles at 2m4f; this race looks a better fit but he wouldn't want the ground too soft.

Reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when well beaten over hurdles here last month but his second over hurdles here (2m4f, good) two starts ago was a pretty good effort, and he reverts to chasing on a good mark; dangerous to ignore.

Made the frame in three of his four races since returning from long layoff this spring, most recently when keeping-on second over C&D (good) 24 days ago; probably won't be far away but others appeal more.

Dual hurdle winner who was consistent in handicaps; however, she didn't jump particularly well on chase debut at Plumpton (2m1f, good) and may appreciate further than this.

His mark continues to fall and he hinted at a revival when 20l second here (2m, soft) last November; however, pulled up at Aintree (2m4f, heavy) since and he's back to having plenty to prove; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Not that trustworthy these days but he beat a dual subsequent winner at Wincanton in January (1m7f, heavy) and rediscovered some form at Ludlow where he probably got at it with a rival too far from home; capable off this mark but not the percentage call.
