Form & Verdict
Very disappointing since switched to chasing in the winter (five attempts) but is now 6lb lower than when winning competitive Class 3 handicap hurdle at Ayr (3m, good to soft) 13 months ago and will be very dangerous here if reinvigorated by today's return to hurdling.

Form & Verdict
Gained two of his four hurdling wins over this C&D but has not really fired on last two outings, latterly when about 18l behind The Bold Thady at Fontwell this month; still on a fairly tough mark and ground slower than good would not be ideal; others preferred.

10yo who has finished merely seventh on his last three starts, the latest in January; however, a break may have helped and he was returning from some time off when winning under Jamie Gambin over C&D (good) last September; now 3lb lower than for that win and not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Easily won modest mares' maiden on hurdling debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in December but two heavy defeats have followed this year (2m5f/2m4f); moves up in trip for handicap debut and will need to raise her game to have any chance under top weight.

Hereford (2m3f, good) winner under Fern O'Brien in April last year and virtually matched that effort on her comeback run at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November; best forgiven her follow-up effort back there in December as the soft ground went against her; wouldn't want any rain but returns on a competitive mark and not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Had modest 1-25 strike-rate when trained in Ireland, the win gained in soft-ground hurdle in 2021; looked badly out of sorts when last seen in the autumn and it takes a leap of faith to support him on this stable debut; blinkers removed; tongue-tie refitted.

Form & Verdict
Placed several times before eventually opening account at Fontwell (3m2f, good) this month, his 16th start over hurdles; recent 4lb rise might have been worse (front pair pulled 17l clear), and he can cope with ground slower than good; respected.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up on handicap debut in March but last month's keeping-on sixth in a tactical race here (2m3f, good) was a lot more encouraging, and he could quite plausibly have untapped potential over staying trips; recently withdrawn from a race with soft ground deemed unsuitable.
