Form & Verdict
Rejuvenated by switch to new stable this summer and, having easily made the most of a good opportunity at Newton Abbot (2m, soft; also suited by good) last week, is now 3-3 for Dan Skelton; faces tougher task under 7lb penalty but still commands respect.

Form & Verdict
Fair hurdler who made a good start to his chasing career at the end of last month, easily beating Silent Revolution by 14l in a four-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (2m, good); the value of that form is open to question but a subsequent 5lb rise could have been worse.

Form & Verdict
3-10 over hurdles and built upon her very promising chasing debut when winning readily over C&D (good; front pair clear) last month; 8lb rise demands more but she still makes very obvious appeal.

Three wins over hurdles; won a 2m handicap chase quite well here last August but beaten 17l on either side of her fall at Ludlow (2m4f), where she was in contention four out; might be better for a break and hard to dismiss.

Form & Verdict
Safely held in two chases for Olly Murphy but returned to form and caused a 40-1 surprise over hurdles here (2m4f, good) last month, his second start for Rob Summers; drops in trip again on this return to fences and others have more persuasive profiles.

Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a close second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last May; absent since; in the shake-up if resuming where he left off; it's a long time since he raced on soft/heavy ground but he won on soft going in October 2023.

Form & Verdict
Useful hurdler when on song but made jumping errors and looked very unconvincing in all three chases; easily brushed aside by Hidalgo De L'Isle when second of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month and needs to get his act together over fences.

Useful in his prime; badly out of sorts for Alison Thorpe last year (five runs) but makes stable debut from a very dangerous mark and with the trip/ground suitable; well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Useful for Paul Nicholls a few years ago but well beaten on all four starts for Alison Thorpe this year; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here; urgently needs to prove some ability remains.
