Form & Verdict
Launched chasing career with five consecutive wins (2m5f-3m2f; good-soft) from April to June last year; latest success was off this mark but he was pulled up on comeback in November and was only fourth of six at Plumpton the following month; had another wind op since but has some questions to answer on his return; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Good strike-rate over fences but held on last two starts and may be in the assessor's grip now; had wind surgery (his fourth) since last run.

Has excellent 8-11 strike-rate over fences; behind Olivers Travels when fourth here (3m2f, good) on latest outing in July but still ran pretty well, and may yet have a better performance in him; raced mainly on good ground but has won on soft.

Some feat to have won eight of his ten starts over fences; another win looked unlikely when under the pump at Worcester last time (2m7f, good) but he responded admirably to lead when it mattered; a 4lb rise might not be too damaging but he's into classier company this time.

Ex-Irish 8yo; won three of his nine points but he's 0-11 under rules and was tailed off in maiden hurdle here (2m3f, good) on recent stable debut; now returns to a handicap but he's failed to complete in two of his four starts over regulation fences and has plenty to prove back in this sphere.

Returned from a massive absence in January and he's not made an impact over hurdles or fences; his latest third at Exeter (2m3f, good) was a respectable effort but he's out of the weights and this trip is an unknown.

Looked to be rediscovering his level when second at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) in December but he failed to build on that in two subsequent starts; weakened on his one go over further than 2m5f when fifth at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in April; risky.

Good-ground hurdle winner off a much higher mark before a big absence; it's been a long road back but he didn't give up the ghost at Lingfield (good to soft) on penultimate start; disappointed over that C&D (soft) last month, though, and needs to prove he can operate on this forecast soft ground.

In great form over hurdles last winter with four wins at up to 3m2f; has been generally disappointing since last success though, and was pulled up over fences at Leicester (2m6f, soft) in February; still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to bounce back after another break.

Four-time hurdle winner who made it 0-5 over fences when running no race at Uttoxeter in December; that was on heavy ground but he went well in the mud in 2023 and 2024, and is well handicapped if he can get his act together over fences.
