Form & Verdict
Well beaten/pulled up at Cheltenham in the autumn on last two starts but he was hampered on the first occasion and made a bad mistake when last seen; he won his first two chase starts last May/June (2m/2m4f, good) and is not written off on this return from a break.

Record of 3-6 over fences; only beat two rivals for the last of those wins (2m) but he ran well in a useful chase at Newbury a month ago (2m4f, good) and this is easier than that; respected.

Won last May/June (2m/2m4f, good) in the first two of his five runs over fences, but it took a three-runner race for him to score again three weeks ago (Doncaster 2m, good) and he still threw in a blunder even then; in this company, others are a bit more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form with a win when back on better ground over C&D (good) 11 days ago; has a good record here and, having done it comfortably last time, an 8lb rise may not stop him this afternoon.

Back to form to win his second race over hurdles when scoring over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last time; up 5lb; quite interesting on that form.

T: Matt Crawley

1-4 over hurdles in 2022-23 and he's since been 1-12 over fences; peak form came in 2m chases early in 2025 and there have been a couple of significant absences since; the backward steps on last two chase starts, however, prompt some caution on this return to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces.

Gained a first chasing success at Doncaster (2m) last February; infrequently raced since and he came in a well-held fourth of five in 2m5f Fakenham handicap 31 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.

Form & Verdict
Pretty useful juvenile hurdler last season and he's dropped down the weights; however, after two below-par runs over hurdles he was also well beaten on his chase debut at Plumpton three weeks ago; revival required.

Useful hurdler who has finished runner-up in four Flat handicaps this year and latest fourth was in a Class 4 on the AW; Jake Dickson was aboard when he just missed out at Newmarket the time before (2m, good to firm; same mark).
