0-6 over hurdles; soundly beaten in two soft-ground handicaps at start of this year (both 2m4f) but subsequent fourth in Fontwell maiden (2m1f, good; first-time tongue-tie) was much more encouraging; can feature here if he builds on that effort.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Skelton gelding; five runs for this yard, easily the best when third in first-time blinkers (joining tongue-tie) at Warwick two runs back (2m, good); pulled up next time when only blinkered; now only tongue tied and hard to know what to expect from him.

None too consistent but he's a dual chase winner (2m4f/2m) and was second to the odds-on favourite in a small field last time; shouldn't be far away if giving his true running.

Lacks consistency but registered a success in a deeper C&D event (good to soft; off just 2lb lower) in December and has possibilities provided he's back in similar form.

Capable Flat horse not all that long ago; tailed off in his only handicap over hurdles and, following wind surgery, unseated mid-race when 8-1 for chase debut at Stratford; bit to prove.

5yo who won at Southwell (2m, good) in June on second chase start and has been runner-up at Worcester (2m, good) on last two outings, bumping into an improved winner most recently; stayed well on the Flat and he's been shaping as though this step back up in trip could prompt further improvement.

Easy winner on second chase start at Southwell (2m, good) in June and can be forgiven his odds-on defeat a few days later; back on song with a C&D second to Rocks Up Late last month; up 1lb and needs a bit of luck in running but he's still open to progress and commands respect.
