Form & Verdict
3-6 on Tapeta and he did it well when winning over a similar trip at Wolverhampton last month; only 3lb higher and this 3yo still has the scope to go on to better things as a stayer; major chance.

All four wins have been on Tapeta but he ran well here on his debut; raised in grade this time but it was very straightforward last time at Southwell (2m; 6lb lower) and he's on a roll; tactically versatile.

Form & Verdict
Won five times over 1m2f-1m4f on the AW for David O'Meara between October 2022 and March 2023, but no success since; makes his debut for another new yard (same owners) after a fruitless second spell over hurdles; not quite sure what to expect.

Form & Verdict
Placed in two of his first three starts on turf but hasn't built on them and he hasn't looked an easy ride in his last two outings; still unexposed but whether this big step up in trip will make a difference is anyone's guess, especially as he is inclined to take a pull.

Two of four wins have come here, the latest over 1m6f last month after a break; 3lb higher and still has a bit to prove over this far but with this unlikely to be a true test at the trip he has to be respected.

Won twice last year and is 2lb lower than when successful at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) in June; met late interference when beating one home over C&D 11 days ago (Green Team second); capable of playing a part at this level granted a clearer run.
