Form & Verdict
6yo who has run some fair races this year and was second in a maiden hunter chase at Hexham (3m, good) on Saturday; however, he finished tired and more will be required to win this contest.

His mark continues to fall but this 7yo remains a maiden after 21 rules starts and recent evidence doesn't indicate a win is imminent.

Made it 0-20 under rules when pulled up over fences at Ayr last week; however, before that he posted two fair runs over hurdles (2m5f/2m) and shaped as though he would benefit from this longer trip; well treated on last spring's chase form; could appreciate the return to hurdling; interesting.

19-race maiden; placed in handicap, a couple of hunter chases and in two points last year; two fair runs over hurdles this term after wind surgery; well handicapped but others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent and soundly beaten in a point-to-point last month; however, he won one in March (3m, good to soft) and was also on the scoresheet in a hunter chase at Kelso (2m7f, soft) in January; capable of a bold show.

No longer the force of old but won off reduced mark at Carlisle (3m, good) last month and again stuck to his task well when second at Kelso (2m7f, good) a fortnight later; reportedly not suited by the good to soft ground when well beaten on latest outing; contender if able to rebound here.

No longer the force of old but capitalised upon some help from the handicapper at Carlisle (3m, good) last month, and again stuck to his task well when second at Kelso (2m7f, good) a fortnight later; respected.

Form & Verdict
0-8 under rules but has posted a win (3m, heavy) and a near-miss (3m, good) in point-to-points this year, and has also shown promise in hunter chases; this is a realistic opportunity and he could have a big say.
