Won three handicap chases last season (one over C&D on good) and back on his last winning mark; however, he's finished a remote last in his final two chase starts.

Well held on the Flat last week but is a three-time chase winner this season, the last twice over 3m2f at Fontwell (good to soft/good); nudged up only 2lb for latest success and has another big role to play.

Form & Verdict
Failed to win for Gordon Elliott and no closer than 18l in four handicap hurdles for this yard; did win an Irish point but wouldn't be the obvious solution on his chase debut.

No match for clear winners when second on last two outings, the latter over C&D, but they were both pretty good efforts and today's forecast slower ground might suit him better; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Yet another horse to turn a corner for James Owen, following his second over hurdles with a clearcut defeat of three rivals in a 3m handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m, good; cheekpieces returned); needed plenty of driving to get the job done but effectively only 1lb higher with Alex Chadwick taking off 5lb; now visored and seems to respond well to changes on the headgear front.

Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Won over fences last season (2m5f, good to soft) but it was an up-and-down campaign in both disciplines; ran moderately on the back of wind surgery on return to hurdles at Southwell but certainly has a big run in her if she can rediscover her form.

Back below the mark of November's mares' handicap win at Fakenham (2m6f, good to soft); rarely operated at that level since, with little about two latest runs suggesting April's wind surgery has done anything for her.
