Reliable veteran who was in good form when last seen, finishing third on his last three runs; won this off 1lb lower last year and he's worth considering back from a break.

Just one win from 24 starts but that was by 11l over fences at Hereford (2m, good) in March and he ran into a handicap blot there in final run in the spring; looks interesting off 3lb lower on his return and his win was under Shane Quinlan.

Form & Verdict
Won a Plumpton maiden hurdle (2m, good) in 2023 and after two moderate chasing efforts, he was supported when making all at Huntingdon (2m, good) last week; carries a penalty for that improved effort but if in similar form, he would look well treated.

Form & Verdict
Dual 2m hurdle winner on yielding ground in Ireland; placed in 6-28 chase starts but recent form suggests that a 7lb drop and the application of cheekpieces won't see him break his duck in this discipline.

Form & Verdict
1m5f bumper winner (good) who was placed in 4-9 hurdles at around 2m (in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton latest); looks fairly treated on that basis, from the same mark and if he jumps well enough on his chase debut he should be competitive.

Hooded when solid third over C&D (good) at the end of last year and scored at Plumpton (about 2m4f, soft) on next start in February; revised mark has seen him held in two subsequent starts but that doesn't tell the whole story as they were seriously competitive series qualifiers; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles when second here 13 months ago) are reapplied and he needs a firm second look.
