Form & Verdict
Pulled clear of a subsequent winner when chasing home the well-touted Palladium here in January (soft) and then fairly readily accounted for respectable opposition at Southwell (good to soft); has the penalty but he's looking a nice prospect.

Dual 2m novice hurdle winner last season but well beaten on handicap debut in April and he's also struggled in two chase runs this winter; still lightly raced and now returns after wind surgery, but likely best watched for now.

Beat all bar a notable rival on hurdles debut; questionable whether he has improved in justifying favouritism twice since, all out at Huntingdon (2m) latest; however, has a smart pedigree and may do better still.

Form & Verdict
Useful on Flat and his only blip in four hurdle starts came in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham won by the Triumph third East India Dock; responded well to headgear on the Flat and had the cheekpieces back when going close in a Sandown handicap 11 days ago (good to soft); major player, for all that he may lack the potential of Wolf Moon.

In decent form when last seen on the Flat for Michael Bell but has been hurdling since December 2024 for this yard; did well as a juvenile in that sphere but last season didn't go well; mark fine if this return to the Flat perks him up.

Well handicapped on some of last season's form but looked unenthusiastic when never-dangerous fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has become disappointing; needs change of headgear to perk him up.

Lurks on a dangerous mark and his defeat on heavy ground a fortnight ago is not viewed harshly but he's largely been disappointing this season and has stamina to prove over this new trip.

The form of his bumper win at Ludlow is nothing to shout about and comfortably held since then, over hurdles the last twice; won't mind getting back on drier ground (debut win was on good) but others appeal more; now has tongue tied.

Bumper winner who was placed on the last two of his five Flat starts, more recently when third in handicap here (11.6f, heavy) ten days ago; could easily have more to offer over today's longer trip; big player.

Form & Verdict
Perhaps resented the soft ground here two months ago and her previous efforts at Uttoxeter (good to soft/good) were certainly not devoid of promise; has to step up here but that's feasible.
