Has only ever won here and had just the five races since the latest of those in November 2022; well held at Sedgefield last time but a repeat of her third here in December wouldn't see her far away.

12yo whose seven wins have been registered at either Market Rasen or Carlisle; latest was last April and she's now 9lb lower after a lean spell, but there were major signs of a revival on latest start before she fell (held in second at the final flight); considered but this may not be her track.

A three-time C&D scorer, including in this race 12 months ago; well below par this term, coming in last of 14 over C&D 20 days ago but this veteran mare still can't be totally dismissed from a plummeting mark.

He won on the Flat at Catterick (1m6f, soft) in October before finishing close up in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in November; that was a sound run given his jumping was anything but fluent.

Form & Verdict
A long-time absent but he's only 2lb higher than when running away with a Uttoxeter handicap (2m, soft) when last sighted in May 2023; a 12yo now and perhaps asking a bit much to replicate that form after so long out.

Now 0-17 under both codes but he rewarded each-way supporters at Hereford (2m, soft) and that form reads okay, as the winner had won his previous race and the unexposed runner-up has run well again in defeat since then; considered.
