Form & Verdict
0-7 over hurdles but he scored at the first attempt over fences and finished ahead by 12l in that handicap at Exeter (3m, soft) four days ago, going on at an early stage and not having to be more than nudged along when well clear in the closing stages; very well treated under a 7lb penalty if he can serve up the same so soon afterwards.

Unraced beyond 3m2f but should stay further than that; 15l winner of a major 3m handicap at Kempton last February but he's found his revised mark a bit too tough since (close second to Herakles Westwood at Cheltenham on New Year's Day) and is still 10lb higher today; others are a bit more persuasive.

Always wears a tongue-tie; on a sharp upward curve when taking this 12 months ago by some 15l (on good to soft); makes his defence off an 11lb higher mark but on the back of a return to form at Cheltenham (in cheekpieces; wore a visor in this last year); course form here always ticks a big box and can run well again.

Won in January in his first two chases (3m/3m2f, soft/heavy) then lacked fluency over his fences when second at Wincanton (3m2f, good to soft); bar one small blip he jumped much better at Kempton (3m, good to soft) 17 days ago when romping home in the Ladbrokes Trophy; hit with 12lb rise but that may not stop this highly progressive 7yo, who was very impressive last time.

Form & Verdict
Won the North Wales National at Bangor (3m6f, heavy) off this mark last February in first-time cheekpieces; ended last season with two non-completions and he's not shone on either start this term, but the cheekpieces (absent this term) return today; case can be made.

Last won in the North Wales National at Bangor (extended 3m5f, heavy) in February 2024 with first-time cheekpieces; best effort this term was back in November (four races since) but he's down the weights, back chasing and some headgear returns after two hurdles races without; yard going well too.

Thorough stayer who is 1-16 over fences since his last hurdle race in March 2023; the win came over 3m5f in first-time cheekpieces in February 2024 but headgear is removed today; has easily the lowest mark of his career but he's inconsistent and hard to rely on; yard also runs Sparkling Duke.

Form & Verdict
Well treated judged on her Huntingdon and Lingfield wins last February/March over nearly 3m on soft/heavy going; opposable on her subsequent form, however, and a fair fourth in October was easily the best of her three runs in recent months; cheekpieces went on for those two wins but have been absent recently and she may prove best watched until they return.

Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time.

Form & Verdict
Absent 15 months before his 17l fourth in the Borders National at Kelso (upped to 4m) four weeks ago; while that was some way off his best form, it was an encouraging return to action and he is back down in trip; won sole start on heavy; considered.

Won five in a row last year (good-soft), including the 3m6f Highland National at Perth; has been rather quiet in last two races, as he was beaten 21l when third over 3m5f and then was pulled up at Kelso (4m); capable but a bit risky today.
