Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on old form; had his first run back from wind surgery over hurdles and appreciated the return to chasing when close up over C&D (good) two weeks ago; the front three were well clear of everything else; raised just the 2lb for that good run.

Back on track with two good runs at Kempton (3m, good) this spring, the latter a win; probably still on a workable mark after 5lb rise but didn't find much at business end at Perth recently; now sports cheekpieces.

All wins over shorter but it was over 3m1f when third at Plumpton last time and he didn't run badly in the big C&D handicap here in February; he's another who can have no complaints with the handicapper.

Well suited by a stamina test on good ground and lurks on a dangerous mark but has not been firing on all cylinders since running well on last season's reappearance outing in October; safely held when fourth in recent Sussex National; needs to up his game.

Form & Verdict
Goes well over C&D and has never won on ground slower than good to soft, so can be excused his recent failures on soft (still ran well here in February); usual tongue-tie left off with the cheekpieces tried once before reinstated; could easily go well.

Form & Verdict
Questionable what he achieved behind an easy winner when back chasing at Ludlow in February and especially after a lesser run at Newbury, albeit in a strong handicap (2m4f, good to soft); on the plus side, drying conditions are in his favour and his only previous attempt at 3m was in the valuable handicap at this track in 2022; could be a player after wind surgery.

J: Nico de Boinville

T: Nicky Henderson

Best form at about 3m and very capable on his day; has won on this track but also pulled up in three of five course starts, most recently in May, and he completed in his own time on his only subsequent chase start; overall record shows he's a long way from being a punter's pal.

10 yo Gelding

OR: 122

Form & Verdict
Won last year's Edinburgh National and later finished fifth in the Scottish National (4m, good); has clear wellbeing questions to answer after last season's two runs amounted to nothing; if he could stage a revival he's effective at 3m for all that he stays so well.
