Form & Verdict
Well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in January but 3-3 since switched to fences with tongue-tie/cheekpieces fitted this spring, with all three wins gained over C&D on good ground; comfortably pulled 10l clear of Summer In Milan 16 days ago and his latest 11lb rise is partially offset by Freddie Mitchell's useful 5lb claim today; makes obvious appeal.

Made it 6-17 over fences with his brave win at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; flopped in his follow-up bid at Huntingdon (pulled up) but he's only 1lb higher than for that penultimate run and he won here in the summer; player if he can bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Scored over hurdles in first-time visor here (2m5f, good) in March and came second (albeit no match for Jack Sparrow Grey) in C&D chase in first-time cheekpieces last month; still unexposed over fences and can give another good account in refitted visor.

C&D winner in a first-time visor in March (good; 5lb lower) but beaten between 10l and 14l in three subsequent races, the last two over fences (cheekpieces/visor); should give his running, though improvement has come on good ground.

Made a winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f) in May; failed to stay 3m1f when fourth there subsequently but shaped encouragingly reverted to hurdles after seven months off when third in 2m2f Exeter handicap 18 days ago; merits serious consideration back in this sphere.

Stayed on gamely to cause 14-1 surprise over C&D (good) in April, his second chase success here, but was quickly back in the doldrums when pulled up behind Jack Sparrow Grey and Summer In Milan here 16 days ago; 2lb out of the weights today; can't be relied up.

Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed.

Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid.

Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break.
