Form & Verdict
Two-time chase winner at up to 2m4f, including here in April (good); handicapper has been in control since but he did go close again at Worcester (2m4f, good) latest; up 3lb; generally consistent and should be involved again, back down in trip.

Goes particularly well at Southwell where he won again by 15l a month ago (2m, good), making all; he was granted a soft lead there and has gone up 9lb.

Four of his six wins have been at this track, three of which over 2m; has lost his way, however, since the last of those in May last year off 7lb higher; well handicapped if he can return to form after absence of 223 days.

Form & Verdict
2m3f hurdle winner; stepped up on his hurdles form when third on his chase debut at Bangor (2m1f, good) last month; didn't jump fluently enough to have a major say when favourite at Perth (2m4f, good) since then; cheekpieces go on to try to help him get back on track.

Pretty consistent over fences and hurdles on good/good to soft ground this season and has slipped to a good mark; campaigned mainly at around 2m but has won over an extended 2m3f; probably won't be far away.

Fair efforts in the autumn across first three chase starts, finishing second last time (2m, good) despite not jumping well; on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form; could be a contender now back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Four wins (three over hurdles and one over fences) at up to 2m1f, all on good; well treated on his best chase form; should be better suited by the return to this trip than the 2m4f at Hereford latest but it does need to induce a significant revival; first-time headgear may help with that.

Form & Verdict
Arrives on the back of decisive mares' chase wins at Stratford (2m3f, good) and Bangor (2m4f, good), for which she has gone up a total of 18lb; up in grade but she may not yet have reached the ceiling of her ability.
