Form & Verdict
Has struggled in the main, and been lightly raced, since winning two in a row in April 2021; there can be question marks against the form of his 7l win in a military riders' race over C&D (soft) three weeks ago, when back from an absence, but a 3lb rise isn't harsh and he's respected.

Didn't jump with fluency but took advantage of ease in grade to justify favouritism in a Leicester seller (2m4f, soft) on penultimate start; toiled back in a handicap (Class 4) at Lingfield latest; this is a tough task, even if returning to this shorter trip may suit.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise on his first four starts (including on soft) then got off the mark when making all in a Market Rasen novice (2m, good to soft); on a line through the runner-up he's making his handicap debut off a fair mark, and this unexposed 6yo is open to improvement for his good yard.

Form & Verdict
2m4f British point winner (2m4f, soft) who has shown ability in some warm novice hurdles, including over C&D; makes handicap debut off a modest mark and this provides a far more realistic opportunity; one of three for the stable and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Quirky customer who doesn't find much when striking the front but has won three times under well-timed Robert Dunne rides this season; unraced beyond about 2m4f under rules but well suited by good/good to soft ground and probably still on a workable mark.

Never travelled after swerving to avoid a faller at Wincanton in December but otherwise he's done little wrong over fences, having valid excuses at Sandown before winning at Leicester (2m, soft; has won over 2m4f); every chance he defies a 3lb rise for last year's successful yard; first-time cheekpieces.
