Sound-surface wins in another C&D 0-120, a Cartmel hurdle and a Witton Castle open point since May; never travelling at Uttoxeter latest (first loss under Brian Hughes), but is one proven capable of bouncing back.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced and has mixed record over hurdles since winning Irish point debut in January 2023; scored on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft; first run after wind surgery) in April and will be fine on the quicker surface; very unexposed at about 3m and switches to chasing with significant potential.

Has bettered his winning hurdle form when runner-up on all three starts over fences; his latest effort at Kempton over Christmas is solid form and he can get off the mark over the larger obstacles now.

Form & Verdict
Kept on well for second in Ludlow hunter chase (3m, good to soft) in April and will be suited by the forecast good ground here but this veteran is no longer the force of old and has become inconsistent.

Has dropped a long way down the weights for good reason and struggles with his consistency these days; too risky.

Form & Verdict
Gained three of his six chase wins here, most recently when rewarding persistent ride in two-finisher contest in March (3m2f, good to soft); that form looks rather dubious and he was pulled up at Fakenham last month but, nevertheless, his largely consistent record at track is respected.
