Form & Verdict

Justified favouritism in four-runner field at Southwell (2m, soft; off 4lb lower) last month, opening his chase account at the fourth attempt; may build on that win and warrants respect.

Form & Verdict
Won a juvenile hurdle here (2m, good) in November 2021 but he has mixed record since and was beaten 29l in a Cheltenham handicap last month; now switches to fences but this lightly raced 6yo is on a reduced mark and he could be a serious factor if he takes to this new discipline.

Won twice for the Skeltons; showed his best form for his current yard when fifth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) 26 days ago; his mark continues to drop and he should find another opening at some point.

Form & Verdict
Won his sole bumper but he's 0-5 over hurdles and didn't finish closer than 15l to a winner in that sphere; has had wind surgery and now makes his handicap/chase debut but he needs a major upturn in form; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

0-4 over fences but placed off 4lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good) last autumn; probably needed the run this month when returning from a layoff and he looks interesting both over this new trip and with that outing behind him.

1-1 in bumpers, but his hurdles form rather regressed after returning a year ago; has finished third of five in both starts over fences and may have needed the run after six months off at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) 20 days ago; the step back up in trip may suit and he's not dismissed.

Form & Verdict
0-4 over hurdles and was disappointing when upped to 2m4f on his handicap debut at Musselburgh (soft; 5-2 favourite) last month but he's still unexposed and this point winner looks a possible improver on this switch to fences; one to keep an eye on back in trip.
