11st 13lb |
Three-time chase winner, most recently when dropped back to 2m at Southwell (good; made all) last month; up 6lb but he was as good as ever last time and today's return to 2m3f won't be a problem; respected. |

Twice runner-up here (2m/2m4f) in the spring before off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May (placed horses both won two starts later); not seen since disappointing at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) the following month, but still a player on his earlier form. |

Four wins for another yard in the middle of 2023 including one over C&D, but only success in 16 starts for this yard came over hurdles at Stratford (2m3f, heavy) in October; now 1lb lower, though, so a case can be made. |

1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when scoring narrowly at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January, left in lead at last; runs off the same mark here but has to put a poor run on chasing debut (jumped poorly) well behind him. |

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Off the mark at the seventh attempt (just second handicap run) when scrambling home in a 2m3f novice handicap hurdle at Chepstow (heavy) in January, left in the lead at the last; goes chasing off the same mark and still capable of further progress. |

The first of his two chase wins (from 19 attempts) was over C&D in 2022 and he was runner-up back here on reappearance this term; ran respectably at Southwell last time and should figure prominently in this field. |

Bit of a mixed bag since winning off 11lb higher here (2m, good to soft) in March last year, his second of eight at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on his return last month (has a good record fresh) surrounded by lesser efforts; others are more convincing. |

12st 2lb |
Three wins over fences in France, latterly in a 2m1f claimer at Auteuil (heavy) in late 2022; struggled in two runs for his new stable after a long absence but he's had wind surgery since the latest and is now eased in grade; tongue tied today; market support would be a positive. |

Claims on last season's best but he made an underwhelming return from 320 days off at Plumpton 23 days ago; needs to leave that effort behind him. |

Ex-Ben Pauling; modest hurdler at up to 2m4f but rather disappointing in six runs over fences; sold for £5,500 and bit to prove on stable debut having been absent since September; |

Has unconvincing record over fences but ran well to a point at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July, after a break, and has become well handicapped on hurdling form; suited by good and soft ground; one to consider. |
