All five wins over fences have been at this track and latest was over C&D (good) in May; didn't shine here last time but that was a Class 2 handicap and he still looks on a workable mark; respected on this big drop back in grade.

Won well off 4lb lower last summer for a different yard (2m5f, good); disappointing favourite on stable debut at Cartmel (2m5f) and soft ground was no excuse.

Form & Verdict
Signed off for Richard Hobson with two wins at Fakenham (both 2m5f, good) in April and didn't run badly in a stronger race there on this month's stable debut; likely to be suited by this fairly similar track too, and enters calculations; cheekpieces removed; tongue-tie refitted.

Dual chase winner in 2024; returned from one-year absence with low-key hurdle run for new stable in July but shaped with a lot more promise at Perth last month and should now be at concert pitch for this return to fences.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark over fences at sixth attempt, making all at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month, and may not have been ideally suited by the drop back to 1m7f when only fifth there a fortnight ago; has a part to play here but some of the others may have more scope for progress.

Most consistent win or lose over either obstacle for this stable until finding a brush hurdle series final at Worcester all too much last time (2m4f, good); swimming in calmer waters again on this return to fences, albeit still above any class he's ever won in.

Consistent over fences and hurdles for new stable this season, winning once under each discipline; suited by this C&D but may find less exposed rivals better handicapped today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor.

Form & Verdict
Came from off the pace to win by 19l over hurdles here (2m1f, soft; first-time visor) last August but we haven't seem him since a lesser effort in October, and he was 0-7 over fences when trained in France.

Both wins over fences came over C&D in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's generally struggled in the last 12 months and was last of seven over C&D (good) when last seen in May; plenty to prove and all of his wins have been on soft or heavy ground.

Winner on good ground over 2m3f at Stratford and Catterick this season; another fair effort when third of four at Musselburgh last time (2m4f, soft) where he jumped left on occasions; return to a left-handed track should suit and he can go well (won a bumper on soft ground).
