Form & Verdict
Only win over jumps was over C&D in February last year (soft); subsequently runner-up in this race (soft) having changed yards; bit disappointing this season, best run when third at Carlisle in November (2m, good to soft); back on his winning mark and wouldn't rule out.

He's dropped to a mark 3lb lower than when winning at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) last February; however, this season's form has been mixed and he was no match for Supreme George when third of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day; needs to raise his game.

Form & Verdict
Only jumps win was a novice handicap chase at Kelso in October 2023 (2m1f, soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; in-and-out form this term (suffered from post-race heat stress on last two starts); could run well but unreliable.

On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate.

Form & Verdict
Two good runs this winter, winning a novice handicap chase at Market Rasen on second occasion (2m1f, soft); made a bad mistake when well beaten favourite last time; could go well, although has shown her best form going right-handed.
