Form & Verdict
Won at up to 3m1f over hurdles but was suited by the strong pace set by Hazard Collonges when scoring by 20l over C&D (good) on recent chasing debut (first run since rejoining Patrick Neville); 10lb higher today and it might be wise to treat that form with a degree of caution but he's evidently in very good nick.

Form & Verdict
Had modest strike-rate when trained by Tim Easterby but is very well handicapped on some of last season's placed form and kept on well for second on last month's stable debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good); runs this track well; high on the list.

On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate.

Form & Verdict
0-8 over hurdles; seemed to respond quite well to first-time cheekpieces when close fourth at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in October but was slightly disappointing when favourite for latest race and needs to find something extra on this chasing debut.

Dual chase winner (2m5f/2m3f) this spring, after a break; didn't see out 3m on latest outing but drops back in trip for this switch back to hurdling and his current mark is workable; respected.

Continued his progress, turning over an odds-on stablemate of The Flying Poet at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; from 6lb lower; fences in the home straight were omitted) three weeks ago; his win in a small field there the time before was over nearly 2m7f; looks hard to beat in hat-trick mission, if proving equally effective over 3m.

Knuckled down to get the better of the favourite in a tight finish here (2m6f, good; 7-2) a fortnight ago; that was his first win since his bumper days, so a nominal 3lb rise seems fair; dropping back in trip is unlikely to pose too much of a problem.

Set fast pace and built up big lead over C&D 11 days ago but was reeled in by Not Staying Long before the home turn and had to settle for a remote second; now 0-20 under all codes; others are more persuasive.
