Consistent gelding who won by a comfortable 3l at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft; won on good) last time and the runner-up has since filled the same berth at Newbury; this 7yo was ideally positioned that day in what developed into a sprint finish but a 5lb rise could have been worse; Murray Dodd rides again claiming his 7lb.

Bumper winner and his maiden win came over 3m; fourth of 13 but was never that threatening on his handicap debut at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft); returning to further should at least help.

7yo who has improved for the switch to fences this season, winning at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and finishing second on his three starts since, most recently behind Neo King in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft); progressive and he could be in the mix once more up 3lb for last time.

Form & Verdict
Strong through the line when winning by 2l over C&D in January and was again doing his best work late here two weeks ago, yet unable to reel in the winner (again on good to soft); has a different claimer aboard this afternoon (taking off 7lb instead of 10lb) but very much enters the reckoning.

Five out of seven hurdles wins have been recorded in the month of June; mark and trip fine, but although once a winner after 151 days out his record following an absence is a bit mixed overall.

Several flights were omitted when winning at Market Rasen (2m7f, good; visor refitted) but consistent in the main and perhaps needs further than the 2m4f he ran over last time; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Doesn't appear to want soft ground but got away with the good to soft when a clearcut winner in a first-time tongue-tie at Huntingdon (3m1f); that was his first venture beyond an extended 2m4f and it suited him well; 10lb higher now, though.

Form & Verdict
Course maiden winner over 2m4f on good to soft when tongue tied for the first time and going okay when falling three out at Ffos Las (2m6f); failed to fire at Cartmel but not all horses take to that venue and he reportedly hung right which wouldn't have helped; has been off since July but breaks are a feature in his profile.
