Form & Verdict
Made winning handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, soft) in March and made further progress when close/clear second at Haydock (2m3f, soft) later that month; not discredited in competitive series final since and connections are evidently keen to switch him to fences; looks interesting, even from 12lb out of the weights.

Mostly chasing in the last year but was second to Blue Hop reverting to hurdles at Wetherby last time; needs more.

Won over hurdles at Southwell last March and fences at Cartmel last May; has dropped to a dangerous mark but he's been inconsistent over fences since that last win; reverts to hurdles and others are more compelling.

Form & Verdict
Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2021 and a dual chase winner this season, latterly when easily making all in Wexford novice (2m, soft) 11 days ago; will be fine over today's longer trip and commands respect.

Bled in this last year; good form in first two starts for this yard at Killarney in the summer and creditable third of 17 in valuable 2m4f veterans' contest at Haydock last month; chance on that form.

Last win came at Killarney last summer but retains level of ability judged on recent Haydock veterans' handicap third (good), best run for some time; whether or not he can back that up against more progressive types is debatable.

Irish challenger who could be in the picture judged on his good form at Killarney last summer, and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's been soundly beaten on his last three starts and has to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Had mixed record when trained by Nicky Henderson and was just a respectable third over hurdles on stable debut in March; still in touch but seemingly on the back foot before unseating rider in latter stages of last month's chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy); arrives here with a bit to prove.
