Form & Verdict
Placed twice since switched to fences last summer but there were four non-completions in that period and he now reverts to hurdling; has more to prove than some of these but is on a workable mark and will be suited by today's trip/ground.

Multiple hurdle winner who is rated 12lb lower over fences and he rediscovered some form when beaten 2l at Cartmel three weeks ago (2m5f, good); should be bang there if repeating that effort.

Returned to form and completed quick hat-trick over hurdles in February (2m-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but quickly went off the boil towards end of last season (pulled up on two of last three appearances); competes off his lower chase mark here and might be allowed an uncontested lead but has a poor completion rate over fences; risky.

Generally disappointing this season but seemed to have benefited from a wind op when close fourth behind Greatness Awaits at Ludlow (2m, soft) last month; remains on a good mark and is unexposed over 2m4f; contender if able to build upon that recent effort.

Form & Verdict
Has a few quirks and is not one to rely upon heavily but returned to form with clearcut success in conditional jockeys' race at Warwick (2m, good) eight days ago and runs without a penalty here; will be fine over today's longer trip and has very obvious claims if in the right mood again.

Well held over hurdles in last three runs but he's won plenty under both codes including three over C&D; still 3lb higher than for his win here last June but he needs watching in market back on the Flat; effective on good/good to firm but most of his wins have come on slow ground.

Game front-runner who bids to complete a hat-trick after winning by a neck at Ludlow (2m, soft) and Hereford (2m, good) in recent weeks; competes off career-high mark today but the return to 2m4f won't be a problem and he ought to give this a good shot.

Highly progressive over hurdles in 2025, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft), but he's performed below that level switched to fences in recent months; still early days in this sphere but difficult to make a case for him here.

Highly progressive over hurdles last year, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft); weakened quickly when soundly beaten sixth on last month's chase debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) but that's unlikely to be the limit of his ability over fences; no surprise to see a bold show.

Sold out of Willie Mullins' stable for £4,000 after going close on hurdling debut at Thurles (2m4f, good) in November; below that form on both starts for current stable and will need to take a big step forward to overcome top weight on this handicap debut.
