Form & Verdict
Safely held after bad jumping error on final circuit here (2m4f, good to soft) in February and now 0-6 over fences, but today's trip-and-ground combination ought to suit him better and he remains on a good mark; had wind op last month; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
In good form last spring, most notably when scoring by 8l off today's mark at Uttoxeter (3m, soft), but he returned from a layoff with three disappointing runs in December/January; had another wind op (his third) during latest 12-week break and needs to get his career back on track.

Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last May and did it in good style; however, he was pulled up/soundly beaten on his two outings last month and is hard to fancy on the back of those.

Form & Verdict
Three-time chase winner (once here) who is usually ridden very patiently; generally disappointing since returning in October from a break, but signalled a possible return to form when keeping-on fifth over C&D in February and might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces today.

10yo whose win over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago was just his second from 27 attempts, so there are reservations about him being able to follow up now 6lb higher; however, he came clear with the runner-up and is entitled to respect; also effective on soft ground.
