Form & Verdict
Just 1-14 over hurdles but seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) when close second in recent Southwell handicap (2m, good); ought to play a major role in this claimer.

Has three wins in this sphere and made a solid return when runner-up at Warwick (2m, good) ten days ago following a six-month break; should be thereabouts.

In decent form when last seen in November, winning a seller at Huntingdon and not beaten far in a better race there subsequently; this looks a competitive race for his return to action but he is not discounted.

Won this race in 2024 and has posted a couple of good efforts since returning from a layoff in the summer; major player if on song today but didn't really fire at Market Rasen last month and regular rider Alex Chadwick is on stablemate Mermaids Cave here.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form with emphatic Flat win in May and has been pretty consistent over hurdles since; in contention for a place at least before last-flight fall in 18-runner Exeter handicap (2m1f, good) last month; likely contender in this grade.

Returned to form with emphatic Flat win in May and has been placed over hurdles twice since; just a respectable fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last month but is 2lb lower here and can cope if the ground softens.

Form & Verdict
Won this race a year ago (good to soft) and has added two slow-ground handicaps to his tally this season; also suited by a sound surface but looked out of sorts when pulled up on last two outings and comes here with risk attached.

Form & Verdict
Overcame top weight in Sligo handicap (2m1f, good to yielding) for Gordon Elliott in July and has very strong claims here if judged on that performance but suffered heavy defeat in run-of-the-mill Hexham novice on last month's stable debut and is very difficult to weigh up now.

Bought out of Gordon Elliott's yard for 10,000gns in August; fair form over hurdles, getting off the mark in a Sligo handicap for conditionals in July (2m1f, good to yielding); not quite so good in similar company last time but interesting on stable debut back in novice company with no penalty.
