Form & Verdict
Versatile sort who won three hurdle races here in 2022 (2m1f-2m3f); beat only two home on last month's Flat (1m4f) return from a break and fared little better back over hurdles (2m1f) 17 days ago; the fitting of a visor (replacing cheekpieces) needs to rekindle some spark but he's down a further 3lb and this step back up in distance will suit; worth considering.

Seemingly boosted by addition of visor when clearcut C&D (good) winner in June but has not been in the same form again since, the last twice with usual cheekpieces refitted; visor back on today; needs to up his game.

Form & Verdict
Struggled last season but won a 2m5f Kempton handicap hurdle (good to soft) off 3lb higher in February 2023 when ridden by Freddie Gordon; well-held fourth on last month's reappearance but he's entitled to be all the sharper for that and he's of interest back in a Class 5 and down in the weights.

Dual hurdle winner (once here); seemingly back in good nick when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in June, his second run after a break, but disappointed there last month and needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces today; probably best suited by good/good to soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Won three in a row for Milton Harris when cheekpieces were added last summer with Bradley Harris aboard; 25-1 when a solid third at Huntingdon last month on second start for Richard Hawker (would have finished closer but for getting hampered late on); remains 3lb above his most recent success but makes plenty of appeal on first start for Syd Hosie.
