Form & Verdict
Won earlier this year on first two hurdle starts (2m3f, heavy/soft) and fair third on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in April; this very lightly raced 6yo is open to further improvement this term and his trainer is among the winners on the Flat; possible player.

Won on reappearance at Wetherby (2m4f, good to soft) and made it 4-6 over hurdles when returning to winning ways at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) four weeks ago; has also won elsewhere (first visit here); could be suited by today's extra yardage and he's a strong contender.

Ran just once last season, when down the field at Aintree last October, and absent again since; however, he's in good hands and was a promising novice hurdler in the 2022-23 campaign; the betting may be informative.

Inconsistent last season and down the field on this month's reappearance at Carlisle; however, he may have needed the run and has dropped below his last winning mark; he's one to consider.

He's 6lb lower than when completing a four-timer in November 2023 and has run fair races across his last three starts, but this 9yo will need something extra if he's to return to winning ways now back up in grade.

Form & Verdict
Had to work hard to justify odds of 2-7 in Plumpton seller last Monday, and has to carry 7lb penalty here; however, he was a good second in a handicap at Perth two starts ago and today's mark isn't beyond him judged on his best form; no surprise if he plays a major role.

Has four wins on the Flat and four over hurdles; sports first time tongue-tie and usual cheekpieces return on this chase debut after blinkers were worn when fourth of six at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last month; has had plenty of racing and others may have more scope for improvement.

5-14 over hurdles and in good form over fences when last seen in spring 2023; returns on a handy mark and he's one to watch in the betting, but it's a hefty absence to defy.

Well handicapped on his form up to May 2023 and he's one to watch in the betting, but he's struggled over hurdles and fences this season following a long absence, and has plenty to prove.

Potentially on a good mark but it's been a struggle this season after a layoff and a sudden turnaround is needed with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces.

Two-time course winner (soft/good to soft) who won twice earlier this year, at Carlisle (2m3f, heavy) and Newcastle (2m4f, heavy); this front-runner returns with his yard going very well; could make a bold bid.

He's dropped to a mark 7lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) last March and is one to watch in the betting; however, this 10yo has been unable to get competitive across his five starts this season and needs to turn things around; testing ground may be preferable.
