J: Jonathan Burke

T: Hughie Morrison

His chase form has been mixed this season but he faced a tough task from out of the handicap at the Cheltenham Festival (pulled up); runner-up at Kempton (2m5f) in November on last hurdle start and he was second over fences at this meeting 12 months ago (3m); might not be a forlorn hope today.

9yo who was progressive last season, winning three times (2m5f/3m, good/good to soft); he didn't run badly when fifth at Ascot (3m, soft) in January last time but is 9lb out of the handicap today, so faces a tough task.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on all four hurdle starts, most recently 19l sixth of 15 on handicap debut at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft), and he could do with settling better; however, he was short-headed in a 3m point in 2023 and could improve for his in-form yard now switched to fences; tongue-tie goes on; contender.

Form & Verdict
Below par at Chepstow last month but perhaps the good to soft ground wasn't ideal and it came just five days after an outing at Uttoxeter (3m, good), where he was in contention when hampered/unseating two out; this front-runner made all over C&D (good) in June and is capable of a bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Won with something to spare at Worcester (2m4f, good) in August 2023 on final run for Michael Scudamore; it was his first run since when pulled up at Ayr (2m5f, good) 12 days ago and he may have needed it; the reapplied tongue-tie could help and a hood goes on, but others have less to prove.
