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.

Hit prolonged flat spots before keeping on for modest fourth over 2m on latest two appearances, the latest at Warwick this month; on a good mark now and this step back up in trip could be the right move but it remains to be seen whether Jack Quinlan can keep him in touch this time.

Only 1-9 over fences but runner-up four times; seems best at Doncaster but on a fair mark and he's able when fresh; Cobden booked.

Tommy Cullen

Probably best known for his exploits at Doncaster; won in good style there (2m, good) in February but has fitness to prove after 220-day break and his record at this track is not good.

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.

Won twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good) and twice on the Flat in 2025; looked as good as ever when second on the Flat this month, after a break, and is respected, albeit the nagging concern is that he ran poorly on his only previous visit to Fakenham.

Scored twice over hurdles last autumn and he notched another success in 2m Chelmsford handicap in November; off since but yard is going well so he can't be discounted.
