Form & Verdict
Has improved for the fitting of cheekpieces and bids for a hat-trick after two narrow wins here (1m4f/1m6f); closely matched with Dark Mystery on their running here 17 days ago; remains open to further progress and seems likely to run another big race.

J: Jack Quinlan

T: B F Brookhouse

Has had a couple of close calls at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this winter but he's now 1-26 on the Flat and his only hurdle run was at Kempton (well-held sixth) in December 2022; probably best watched back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
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.

Four of his seven wins have come over 1m4f/1m6f here and showed he retained ability when winning a handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good) in May; now makes his debut for his eighth different trainer (same owners) and his course record makes him of interest.

6lb below last winning mark, but recent efforts raise doubts as to whether he can capitalise and he has never attempted this far on the Flat before.

Losing run up to 16, but has dropped a long way in the weights and his latest clear third of seven at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) after four months off was more encouraging; 3-7 over C&D and one to be interested in.
