Form & Verdict
Inexplicably ran out at third-last flight here in June but made amends with hard-fought win from the front in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; subsequent 5lb rise is partially offset by Freddie Gingell's useful 3lb claim here; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Prolific chaser who collected a good prize when reverting to hurdles at Cartmel (3m1f, good) in May and twice ran very well on slow ground at that track over the recent bank holiday weekend (second over hurdles, then won a chase); in career-best form but this is another quick reappearance and today's drop back in trip is probably not in his favour.

No longer the force of old and inconsistent nowadays but he capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) three weeks ago and he is also very well suited by this track.

Gained three of his 14 wins here, including 2022 edition of this race, but has regressed and become inconsistent; didn't run badly in last month's Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) but younger rivals have much more appealing profiles.

He's won here three times and was second in this race in 2024 on his last Plumpton visit; on a reduced mark but this 11yo has struggled to get competitive on his last few starts and needs to turn things around in first-time cheekpieces.

Six-time course winner on good ground (2m1f-2m2f); looked as good as ever in the spring but was just a respectable third here (2m1f, good) nine days ago and has stamina to prove over this new trip (albeit has placed form over 2m4f).

Form & Verdict
Not seen under rules since pulled up in a chase for Paul Nicholls last summer and, having won a small-field point in May, was turned over at very skinny odds in his latest point; given a chance by the handicapper but current hurdling ability is tricky to gauge.

Very useful handicap hurdler for Gordon Elliott in his prime and made winning stable debut off reduced mark at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in May; recent Flat/hurdle form has been very disappointing, though, and it's hard to know what to expect from him today.
