Form & Verdict
Won fairly comfortably in first-time blinkers over 3m here (good to soft; beat Ladronne) to make it 4-9 over fences and he only narrowly missed out at Southwell last month after a 6lb rise; might be a tad high in the weights but should give his running.

Six-time winning chaser who will strip fitter for his first run in 554 days, when last of six finishers at Bangor (3m, good) last month; sports first-time tongue-tie and blinkers replace cheekpieces; may need another run or two before coming under consideration.

Has pretty good 6-16 strike-rate over fences but all those wins (and his hurdle win) were gained on right-handed tracks and this is his first appearance since February 2025; entitled to benefit from this outing.

Well beaten all four hurdle/chase runs since returning from long absence for new stable last September but has slipped to a basement mark and might appreciate getting away from soft/heavy ground; dangerous to ignore.

Has won over fences but two disappointing runs after an absence included a heavy defeat behind Esperti and his struggles continued back over hurdles here last month; has dropped to a good mark but with questions to answer now.

T: Evan Williams

Well beaten on stable debut in September but that came after a long absence and he's well handicapped on old form for Tim Easterby; gained both wins on good to soft ground but can handle soft; market may guide.

Form & Verdict
Up until his last two runs he'd been likeably consistent but lacks a cutting edge and he's 2-31 overall; worth taking on.

J: William Maggs

Largely out of form since returning from an absence in May, with by far his best effort coming when a 2l runner-up to a big improver over C&D in June; subsequent efforts have been disappointing, though, and others make more appeal at present.

Form & Verdict
Losing run stretches over three years now; however, his mark has never been lower and it wasn't a bad latest effort at Huntingdon (2m7f, good); whether he'll get this far is another matter and being 7lb wrong is no help.

Form & Verdict
All four chase wins have been at Ludlow, the latest in December (three runs back) when digging deep to capitalise on some help from the handicapper over 3m (soft); remains on a good mark but cheekpieces are turned to after two non-completions, the latest at Ludlow.
