OR: 121

Form & Verdict
His mark continues to fall and he's shown the odd hint of spark this year; drops back down in grade today, which could help, but this 10yo has a regressive profile and was pulled up last time; needs to bounce back.

Veteran; has won nine chases, often making all in small fields on good ground; hasn't been quite at his best since Uttoxeter win last July (2m4f, good) but has plenty going for him here.

Returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last summer and remained competitive afterwards; however, he has since turned 12 and lacking a run might not be ideal.

11yo who returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and has run pretty well in third on his next two outings (3m/3m1f, good); might not be far away.

Form & Verdict
Consistent sort over hurdles and he improved for last month's chase debut when winning at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) most recently; he's just 3lb higher today and holds solid claims.

Course hurdles winner in April 2023 and he won a handicap chase at Huntingdon in November 2024; mishaps have been a feature across his last three starts and he's down the pecking order today.

Won at Huntingdon in November on his second chase start, but well-beaten second of three at Catterick next time and pulled up at Hereford most recently; first-time cheekpieces need to prompt a revival.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up at Sedgefield last month but may have needed that reappearance run; won over C&D (soft) in January and is also effective on good ground; major player if back on song this afternoon.

Now 8lb lower than when winning at Catterick last January but this 11yo has struggled this season; dramatic revival is required.
