Won back-to-back handicap chases last May and staged a revival when second at Ffos Las this April; very hit and miss, though, and has been well beaten in his last three races. |

11st 2lb |
Returned from break with 36l defeat in April but last month's Fontwell fourth (3m2f, good) was more encouraging and the cheekpieces (worn for the second of last year's two chase wins) are now back on; won't mind if the ground is quicker than good; can't be ruled out. |

Battled well for narrow win off today's mark at Hereford (3m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) in the autumn but was given break after disappointing effort in December and again ran poorly when reappearing (without cheekpieces) last month; the cheekpieces are missing again here; stablemate Prince Cleni has much stronger claims. |

Landed his second success over fences, at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October off 1lb lower mark; second at Plumpton the following month but was tailed off at Wincanton when last seen; has been freshened up since and holds claims if putting his best foot forward. |

10st 7lb |
Always behind when switched to fences and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut at Exeter (2m1f, good) last month; not bred to benefit from today's hike up in trip and clearly needs to take a big step forward but he represents a respected stable and remains very unexposed. |

Hasn't shown much in a bumper and three hurdles at up to 2m5f; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie for chase debut; in good hands and on a workable mark but need to see more from him. |

Two wins from 12 starts in points but he's 0-12 under rules and was pulled up over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last time; this 11yo is with another new yard now and looks opposable back over hurdles; change of headgear. |

Maiden hurdler/chaser who wasn't disgraced on his yard debut (visored and tongue tied) when fifth of six in 3m2f Sedgefield handicap chase 15 days ago; this winning pointer may still do better. |

Made all over C&D (good) in March and doubled his chasing tally with hard-fought success at Uttoxeter (3m, good) two months ago; should also be suited by today's slower ground and helps to give Christian Williams a good hand in this race. |

Lightly raced since winning stable/chase debut at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in March 2022 and returned from layoff with two heavy defeats on slow ground towards end of last season (hurdle/chase); however, drying ground ought to be very much in his favour today; interesting. |

Six-time chase winner; badly out of form since very respectable seventh of 19 in much stronger race than this at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October but lurks on a very dangerous mark now and he's another who ought to benefit if the ground dries out here. |

Looked set to finish second before last-fence unseat at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March and bumped into revitalised subsequent winner when second at Fakenham (3m5f, good) last month; went close in 2024 edition of this race on only previous visit to Fontwell; good chance. |

Soundly beaten in February, after a layoff, but looked set to finish second before last-fence mishap at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month, and this move back up in trip will probably suit (placed over 3m3f last summer). |

All three chase wins have come over 3m at Southwell (good/soft) and latest was off 2lb higher last January; well held at Southwell last month but he may have needed that run after six months off and he's a player if he can get back near best. |

Belatedly off the mark under rules with hard-fought success at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) in October and also ran well when second over same C&D (soft) the following month; has fitness to prove after 169-day break, though, and others in this line-up appeal more. |
