Form & Verdict
Just modest form over fences when trained in Ireland but has improved since switching back to hurdles for new stable, winning three times this year; may be a different proposition on this return to chasing and holds interesting claims.

J: Sean Bowen

Returns to fences following a convincing win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) nine days ago; only 2lb higher than when landing his sole success in this sphere (in November 2024) and must be considered while in winning mode.

Exposed four-time winner over hurdles but now 2lb below the mark he defied here last summer; could be sharper for his recent run after a break and Sean Bowen replaces a 10lb claimer.

Four-time winner over hurdles but exposed and was performing no more than okay when last seen in November; however, he could be all the better for a break and he's on his last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Dual point winner in 2023; posted an encouraging performance when second on his chase debut at Fontwell (2m2f, soft) last month following a seven-month absence; should go close if he can build on that.

Can be a bit in and out but he stuck to his task and just got the better of Le Galli Bier for second last time at Plumpton (2m4f, soft); however, the winner left both behind and this 9yo is off the same mark.

Rather in and out since winning at Fontwell in December 2024, but he was in the process of running one of his better races when falling at the second last at Lingfield (2m4f, heavy) 18 days ago; likely to play a part if none the worse for that experience.

Seemed to find 2m7f too taxing here last month but had arguably been fortunate to escape with just a small nudge up the weights for his clear second at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve, and this drop back in trip looks the right move.

Form & Verdict
Got off the mark over fences at Southwell (2m, good) last month, and following a good second on the Flat he ran another solid race when runner-up at Fakenham (2m1f, good) 19 days ago; should give another good account.

Kept on for third at Worcester (2m, good) in August and should be fine over today's longer trip, but was well beaten (albeit in a higher-grade race) at Chepstow last week and has become unreliable.
