Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 8yo who won on handicap debut at Fontwell (near 2m6f, good) last month but got no further than the second returned there (3m2f; evens) 11 days ago; likely to be suited by today's trip and, although the 12lb rise demands more, he's open to progress.

Three-time hurdle winner this season and added to his tally on last month's chasing debut at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft), asserting on run-in to score by 5l; only 3lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if the ground ends up good; sports first-time blinkers; must be considered.

3-9 over hurdles, the wins at 2m5f-3m1f (one here), and recent effort off this mark under Chad Bament when second around here was solid; probably on a stiff enough mark, but appeals as the type to improve for fences and a bold showing can be expected on chase debut.

Form & Verdict
Unraced for Nicky Henderson; posted two modest efforts after a promising hurdle/stable debut in February but ran his best race yet when second of six switched to handicaps over C&D (good) last month, staying on well over the longer trip; Shane Fenelon returns and, with his 5lb claim, worth considering.

Form & Verdict
Left behind some modest efforts over hurdles, including on April's handicap debut, when upped to 2m4f to finish a good staying-on third in the first-time hood at Uttoxeter (good) last month; has something to prove back on softer ground but this new trip is worth exploring; one of two for the stable.

Has regressed since January's encouraging return from a long absence, most recently when finishing a remote last of five when tried in cheekpieces; on a good mark but the new trip and first-time visor need to spark a major revival.

Old jumping issues resurfaced on April's chase third at Southwell (almost 3m2f, good) and a crashing late fall when still close up back over hurdles latest won't have helped his confidence; capable but risky.
