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.

Form & Verdict
Ran well in defeat on three of his four starts last term and he was back near that form when second at Chepstow on latest outing; well handicapped on last season's form and could be on his way back.

All wins have come on left-handed tracks, the latest comfortably at Cheltenham in December (2m4f, good to soft; 7lb lower); does have form going this way around and just appeared to have an off-day last time at Sandown; considered.

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.

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.

J: Ciaran Gethings

T: Jane Williams

Rallied for a near miss over C&D in December (Regal Renaissance challenging when falling) and he was part responsible for the strong pace off which Rodney won at Hereford (2m5f, soft); capable of being involved should this pan out more favourably.

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.

Mudlover who has won four times over fences and he's run creditably at Warwick (3m, good to soft) and over C&D (soft) in last two starts; finished behind Lumi Plugin last time but he should give it another good shot and any rain would be a bonus.

Mudlover who was out of sorts in just three runs last winter but ran well for a long way in a better race than this at Bangor (3m, soft) in April and kept on gamely when third at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month; this more testing ground will suit better; solid claims.
