Has proved difficult to place since last win in March 2025 and form has taken a downturn of late; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class.

Pulled up in Ascot handicap in November and tailed off on sole outing since in the Champion Chase last month; it's hard to say what sort of form he's in but this C&D brought out the very best in him when runner-up in the Grade 1 Maghull Novices' Chase (good) 12 months ago; could go well back here.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Anthony Honeyball

Lacked fluency and ran poorly at Ascot when last seen; ran creditably in C&D handicap the time before but that form is a long way below Champion Chase standard and he's comfortably held by Majborough on Punchestown festival running; has the worst chance on ratings.

Form & Verdict
Below par over hurdles on final three runs last season but won here (2m, heavy) last December and this lightly raced point winner could be suited by the switch to fences; has shown promise on good going; not ruled out.

Solid record at Sandown was enhanced when he scored in good style over C&D (good) seven weeks ago, leading three out to get off the mark as a chaser at the fifth attempt; 5lb rise may underestimate that and he could also be open to further improvement; big shout.

Has a win, two seconds and a third from just six outings at Sandown; ran close to his best when runner-up over C&D in February, keeping on from the rear; solid claims once more.

Form & Verdict
Two-time hurdle winner (heavy/good) who was running well in that sphere in the spring; not disgraced on last month's Flat debut; this 5yo's pedigree provides optimism that he will take to chasing but improvement is needed from 2lb out of the handicap.

Made the frame (albeit safely held) in two good-quality hunter chases (2m/2m1f) last May and dug deep to beat useful rival in small-field open point at Charing (3m, good to soft; subsequently disqualified) in January; turned over at short odds in latest point but still enters calculations.

Point winner who made it 3-3 over hurdles in Grade 2 novice at Doncaster (2m, good) in January; pulled up at Cheltenham Festival in March but yard was under a cloud at the time; top trainer has high hopes for him over fences and he could be significantly superior to his handicap debut mark.

Hasn't looked a natural in his five chases (beaten favourite in Kim Muir last time) but he did very well over hurdles in cheekpieces last spring, finishing second to stablemate Doddiethegreat in the Pertemps at Cheltenham before getting the better of him at Punchestown (2m7f, yielding); could stage a revival back over hurdles.

He hasn't looked a natural in his four chases; however, on the two previous occasions he wore these cheekpieces he ran mighty races in hot handicap hurdles last spring (including runner-up in the Pertemps Final here) and top Irish amateur Derek O'Connor rides today; respected.
