Form & Verdict
He continues to drop down the weights and there was a hint of a revival when fair third at Southwell in January; however, he's been pulled up on both starts since and is back to having plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
11yo who is inconsistent and made it 0-16 over fences when runner-up at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last Tuesday, when he looked set to score only to be overhauled after the final fence; however, he's unexposed over staying trips and he'll be bang there if producing another good run.

Form & Verdict
Point winner who is 0-18 under rules and her jumping can lack fluency, but she's run well to finish second the last twice (3m1f/2m7f, soft/good) and good recent form is scarce in this line-up; on the shortlist.

Inconsistent and he was never travelling when tailed off at Fakenham (3m, good) last time; however, prior to that he was a fair second of four there (3m5f, good) on his second start back from a long absence; showed promise on soft early in career; not discounted.

T: Emma-Jane Bishop

Very lightly raced 9yo who was in process of running well on stable/chase debut until jumping error at third-last fence seemed to knock the stuffing out of him at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy; first-time cheekpieces) in December; that was his first start since early 2022 and he has a fighting chance today if that outing has done him good.

Disappointing at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) last month but won there on his two other starts this year (2m7f/3m2f, heavy); has also won away from Chepstow; capable of a bold bid if leaving last time behind.
