Form & Verdict
Now 9b lower than for his Chepstow win (2m7f, good to soft) last April but he's been pulled up here (2m5f) and at Plumpton (3m1f) in last two runs; cheekpieces return on this drop back in grade but he needs a major revival back in trip; stablemate of Lelant.

Jumped well out in front when prevailing narrowly over fences at Ffos Las (2m3f; good to soft) in April but ran a modest race there in May; dual hurdle winner who stays this far but he's become hard to predict.

Returned to form when jumping well out in front and holding on by a length over C&D last month; beat one chasing a hat-trick so it's solid form; just 3lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Not an instant success over fences, but he's really got his act together with emphatic wins at Exeter and Chepstow (both at 2m3f on soft) on last two starts; up another 8lb but he won eased down last time and is open to more improvement; major player.

Form & Verdict
Three wins over fences in April-June 2023 but he's had mixed results in last four runs and was only fifth of seven at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in his final start last year; not sure what to expect back from 195 days off and interesting to see how he figures in market.

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner who has won two of his four chase starts including over C&D (heavy) last Tuesday; this is tougher under a penalty but he showed plenty of determination last time and should have more to offer in this sphere; respected.

Should be well handicapped and ended a run of non-completions with a 7l third at Fakenham (2m5f, good; fine on softer); can hold his form once finding it and is strongly considered.

Form & Verdict
Maiden; went close in a novice hurdle at Stratford (2m, soft) in November but he's struggled in three runs since including a handicap; with top yard and is still lightly raced but he needs a transformation on this switch to fences.

Form & Verdict
Had a near miss over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) in November but he's not gone on from that and was a remote fourth here (2m, heavy) last month; that took his hurdling record to 0-8 and he needs this switch to fences to reinvigorate him; tongue-tie added.
