Form & Verdict
5-14 over fences, the last three wins all at Market Rasen (3m1f/3m4f) in some sort of headgear; well beaten in his three races this autumn/winter; back to his last winning mark (from last May) but not all the pieces seem to be in place for a revival.

Ran well in defeat on three of his four starts last season (including C&D) and he's well handicapped on that form; fifth of eight over C&D last month, which was a step back in the right direction on his second start of this campaign but he needs to take another today.

Form & Verdict
Near misses on his first two runs over fences before coming good in December in five-runner handicaps at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) and Leicester (2m6f, soft; ridden by 7lb claimer); up another 7lb but he's a rising force, probably with more to give; big chance despite a further drop back in trip.

Acts on soft; has form figures of 22113 since switched to fences, the wins at Ludlow (3m) and Leicester (2m6f); lacked fluency back at Ludlow (2m4f) last time but still ran creditably; solid chance.

Form & Verdict
Won last term in 2m4f handicaps in the winter on two of his first four chase starts; this season has gone poorly over about 3m, trying cheekpieces on latest outing, but he is now just 1lb above his last winning mark and he drops back in trip; a case can be made.

Form & Verdict
Flopped on final start last term and below form back hurdling (first time since April 2022) in December when next seen; hopefully just needed the latter race (50-1) and should be a lot more interesting today for a stable which is seemingly returning to form.

Progressive last term (best efforts in the mud) before it ended with a disappointing run; also soundly beaten on reappearance at Christmas (second favourite) but it will be interesting to see if his backers return.
