Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish 10yo; has very mixed record since returning from mammoth absence in the autumn but caused 50-1 surprise when reverted to hurdling at Wincanton (2m5f, soft) in March and was back in good form when close second over C&D (good) 11 days ago; obvious contender if in the right mood.

Can be hit and miss but he made pretty much all the running to beat five rivals in latest hurdle start at Hereford (3m1f, good) 12 days ago; off the same mark here but has not looked a natural chaser in two previous attempts.

Form & Verdict
Quirky customer who came second several times over hurdles before Tom Broughton found a way to win on him at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) in November; did not convince stamina-wise when upped to 3m last month, after a break, but might have needed that outing, and his current mark is workable.

Quirky customer who doesn't tend to find much when it matters and is placed far more often than he wins; ran well when third at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month and remains on a workable mark, but is very frustrating.

Form & Verdict
Four-time winner over hurdles since joining Grace Harris in early 2023, most recently at Kempton (3m, good) this month; still on a workable mark after recent 4lb rise and ought to be on the premises again.

Best effort this term when second in this grade at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) on penultimate start; on last winning mark so holds a fighting chance from a handicapping perspective.

Ran quite well when fourth of 14 at Warwick (3m1f, good) 18 days ago and is another 3lb lower here but he's now 0-8 over hurdles and others have more persuasive profiles.

Continues to operate some way below the level of early 2023's peak Doncaster hurdles form, placing but still beaten 23l on last month's return to chasing (3m); down another 2lb but not as persuasive as most.

Took form to new level when winning twice in a visor last June/July (2m5f/3m, good); needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high but returned from layoff with satisfactory run last month and has the visor refitted here.

Three-time hurdle winner on good ground (2m5f-3m); still early days over fences and he's getting the hang of things judged on his second at Fakenham (3m5f), albeit in a very small field; thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Dual 2m5f course winner on good ground last autumn and looked as good as ever when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, good) this month, after a break; moves up from Class 5 today but is not fully exposed over this sort of trip and features prominently in calculations.
