Has thrived in staying handicaps this season, winning the competitive Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) in June and finishing second off a lofty mark at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August; this 10yo returns from a 66-day break and has something to find, but the form principals aren't guaranteed to be at their best at this stage of the season; interesting. |

Only three runs ago he was second in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) last summer; now on a recovery mission after two lesser performances, though the cheekpieces now return (as does a tongue-tie) after trying a visor last time; couldn't dismiss back in a hunter chase, having finished runner-up in one here last April. |

10st 12lb |
All three of his wins came in autumn 2022; running creditably this season, including over 3m2f, but he could not hold his own in a valuable handicap at Ascot on latest occasion and it's likely to be the same story today unless first-time cheekpieces receive a very positive response. |

He's been inconsistent this year but ran well for a long way at Cheltenham (3m1f, good; won same race last year) last month when back from a three-month break; he could improve for that outing and is just 2lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in April; not ruled out. |

Eight wins over rules fences include two hunter chases last year; joined this yard for £30,000 in October; suited by good ground but he was too free for his own good after a break when tailed off behind Bardenstown Lad at Fakenham; even should he give himself a greater chance here, his form credentials aren't that persuasive; cheekpieces return. |

No match for the winner when second at Warwick (2m4f, soft) last Saturday but that still represented a welcome return to form; another 2lb lower today and he's a possible player in reapplied cheekpieces (albeit they didn't have an obviously positive impact when worn once previously). |

He won two in a row in the summer (3m2f/2m7f, good) but was pulled up at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October and soundly beaten in the Rehearsal at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last time; needs to bounce back. |

Apparently improved for making the running when winning for a fourth time over fences in a 3m3f handicap chase at Stratford (good ground; not essential) last June but couldn't repeat the trick at Uttoxeter, albeit in their always-competitive Summer Cup; returns from a lengthy break over a trip well short of his best and presumably rejected by Harry Skelton. |

Seized the chance to make all Stratford (3m3f, good) four weeks ago but has very mixed record over fences and is likely to find it harder to dominate this stronger race; others preferred. |

Placed over C&D last summer and ran well to a point when sixth at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) in April, after a break, but did not build on that performance when filling same position behind Hidden Heroics at Stratford (3m3f, good) this month and is 7lb out of the handicap today. |

Dropped out for a remote finish last time at Cheltenham but that was after a break and he was only 2l away when fifth there the run before (October; 3m1f, good); strong stayer on a handy mark but he does need the ground to remain good. |

Had got himself well handicapped given his highs for Paul Nicholls and he returned to winning ways over C&D in December (good to soft), having rallied best after losing his position; subsequent absence is probably no big deal and a 5lb rise is fair. |

Very lightly raced 7yo who made winning chase/handicap debut here (3m, soft) in April and ran well in defeat at Bangor (3m, good to soft) last month, despite again jumping right; probably still has potential but needs to take a good step forward to win this from 9lb out of the weights. |
