Form & Verdict
Made the perfect start for this yard, following 252-day break, when significantly down in trip to score off a career-low mark at Stratford (2m1f, good to soft) a month ago; back up 6lb but won comfortably that day and his peak mark was another 24lb higher, so he could be the type to build back up.

Respectable efforts on both previous course visits, including a close fourth in this in 2024; weighted to strike, but must prove that the effects of the cheekpieces aren't on the wane after a sub-par latest effort.

Won twice over fences at around this trip last spring; not so good since but is 1lb lower than his last winning mark so cannot be ruled out.

Won twice last spring at about this trip but essentially underwhelming since, albeit in better races than this; the drop in class should be welcomed.

OR: 106

Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in December and he got back on track, after some lesser efforts, when third at that venue (2m, good; Dexter fourth) three weeks ago; tight tracks suit and he should go well on this first visit to Newton Abbot.

Six-time chase winner whose form dipped in May/June and he fared little better over hurdles three weeks ago; should be sharper for that now back over fences but needs to find some spark.

Six-time chase winner (once here); competes off lower mark on this rare hurdling start but was not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring and needs to have been refreshed by three-month break.

8 yo Horse

OR: 97

Form & Verdict
Flat, hurdle and chase winner in France but his losing spell goes back to 2021; 0-6 for current yard but he'd been absent for 556 days before last month's return at Ludlow (2m, good; Famoso third) and didn't shape at all badly, despite finishing last of the four to complete; raced rather freely that day too and may well take a step forward.

Now 1lb lower than when winning at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last summer but has not been at his best this season, and was behind Getaway Jewel when fourth at Cartmel last month; needs to up his game.

Defied this mark over C&D (good) last August but he's been out of sorts in his last three runs and latest was at Cartmel three weeks ago; has something to prove and he needs to get back on track; blinkers are removed and cheekpieces return.

Scored over C&D last August off 1lb lower; may have needed the run when fourth of six finishers at Bangor (2m1f, good) last month following six-month break and holds claims.
