Form & Verdict
Won a chase off today's mark at Ayr (2m, soft) in January and didn't run badly in competitive Cheltenham handicap hurdle on latest outing three weeks ago; well beaten the only previous time he wore cheekpieces (in 2023) but is versatile regarding ground and can make his presence felt.

Long in the tooth and no longer the force of old but bounced back from two poor chase runs with respectable effort over hurdles at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month and is now 5lb lower than when going close in this race a year ago; could have a say.

Very capable over fences but pulled up in that discipline on his last two starts following a break of 217 days; he did go close over hurdles at Aintree three runs ago so there's a big effort in him if he can get his act together.

Form & Verdict
Gained four of his seven chase wins over this C&D, the latest by 11l in November; will be suited by today's ground but was pulled up here on last two appearances (2m/2m3f) and can't be supported with much confidence after those efforts.

Nine-time chase winner including twice at Cartmel; didn't fire at Worcester in May but that was after a close second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) and he's a player if he can recapture that form; not ruled out for yard that won this last year.

Won a four-runner handicap chase for the O'Neills in June (2m4f, good); bought for £10,000 in October; good second to a subsequent useful winner in a point in January (3m, soft) but rather disappointing last time; each-way chance.

Rallied well to open account in small field at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month, his fourth start over fences, but was well below that level on latest outing and needs to respond well to first-time cheekpieces here.

Form & Verdict
Had combined 0-12 record over hurdles for his two previous trainers, often harming his chance by racing far too freely; changed hands for £7,000 after respectable maiden second in March and now makes his stable/chase debut; on a good mark but others look less risky.

Won by 36l over C&D in July but that race fell apart and he hasn't threatened since, beaten about 14l returned to fences the last twice; could be on a tough mark (that last win was off 12lb lower) but this is weak.

Form & Verdict
In fairly good form over hurdles when last in action but this chasing debut comes after a 432-day absence, and he may find 2m on good ground an inadequate stamina test.

Very lightly raced 7yo who kept on well for second on chasing debut at Wetherby (1m7f, good) in March; probably still has untapped potential and needs to be taken very seriously here.
