Inconsistent and is without the cheekpieces that went on for the first time for his back-to-form second at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last month; however, even from out of the handicap he's just 1lb higher than when third of 18 over C&D (good) in January and is not ruled out each-way. |

Hurdles winner here who runs off the same mark as for his chase win at Wetherby in January and he took a step back in the right direction when third of seven over hurdles at Uttoxeter three weeks ago; however, he reverts to fences off a higher mark and others have more compelling claims. |

11st 2lb |
Won this 12 months ago (good to soft) and continued in fine form last season, adding a competitive handicap at Kempton (3m, soft) in February; there could still be mileage in his mark and he may have needed last month's reappearance run at Wincanton (well-beaten fourth); one to consider. |

Running with credit in some tough handicaps this season, most recently a close fourth of 14 at Doncaster (3m, good to soft); now tackles his first veterans' chase and has solid claims off the same mark as last time. |

Won the two-finisher Grimthorpe Handicap Chase here (3m2f, soft) in March off today's mark and he's been a respectable fourth at Cheltenham (3m1f/3m3f, good) on both outings this autumn; might not be far away for trainer who won this in 2020 and 2021. |

He won two in a row in the summer (3m2f/2m7f, good) but was pulled up at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October and soundly beaten in the Rehearsal at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last time; needs to bounce back. |

Won two handicaps (3m, good) in autumn 2023 and three hunter chases this spring (3m1f/4m, soft); reappeared with staying-on third in the Grand Sefton at Aintree (2m5f, good to soft) and a bad mistake was costly when only sixth at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) recently; could be worth another chance. |

Fair sixth in this last year (good to soft) before good fourth of 18 over C&D (good) in January and he's well handicapped on that form; things haven't gone to plan subsequently but he was in with a chance when falling four out at Newbury last month, which was encouraging; could play a leading role. |

Only 1-9 over fences but latest Chepstow second (2m7f, good) was up there with his best form; perhaps had an edge in fitness over the winner (who has run well since) and he's not had a lot of racing on soft ground; regularly ridden by Liam Harrison. |

Well beaten in midfield on reappearance at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October but he may have needed the run and last season's novice campaign culminated in a convincing win at Perth (3m, soft) in April; has also won on good to soft; retains potential and not discounted in first-time cheekpieces. |
