Form & Verdict
Well-backed winner on last month's stable debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) when wearing a first-time hood (retained) on his first start for 329 days; ran well on heavy ground when trained in France; had 6l to spare last time and could still be well treated now 6lb higher.

Posted two chase wins in UK in the last two years but hasn't been at his best on last three starts; all hurdle runs came in France, with two wins in 2020; others make more appeal.

Form & Verdict
Capitalised on a reduced mark when winning over C&D (soft) last month in first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces (both retained); this 9yo takes on some unexposed and progressive sorts today but has gone back up just 4lb and remains well handicapped on last season's best efforts.

Dual winner over 2m4f on soft ground in 2024-25 season but has been rather inconsistent and didn't offer enough when fifth of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago to suggest he's likely to cash in on his reduced mark now.

Form & Verdict
Reappeared with an encouraging second at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month, fading late on to be beaten 7l; his last win came over 2m4f on heavy ground at Uttoxeter in November 2023, so he'll be right at home in conditions; could have a part to play now back down in trip.

Absent since finishing second of four over C&D (soft) last March but this prominent-racer represents a trainer having an excellent season and he won in November 2023 after some time off, so is capable when fresh; a possible.

Dual 2m2f course winner last season; not at best on either outing this term but ran well to a point in stronger race than this at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
Built upon the promise of his first two chase starts to win by 15l at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; also effective on soft ground (unraced on heavy); a 10lb rise may not stop this unexposed 7yo if he can back up that latest performance.

Form & Verdict
Displayed promise in 2022-23 novice hurdle campaign and, following an absence, he showed improvement to cosily make all at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month on his stable debut and second chase start; that form has been franked by the clear runner-up and this one is firmly in calculations up 8lb.

Lightly raced for his age and produced career-best performance when making all on seasonal/stable debut at Wincanton (2m3f, soft) in December; fell mid-race at Haydock a fortnight ago but remains open to further progress for Harry Derham; must be considered.
