Form & Verdict
Seemingly in good nick when easily winning two points last month but faces a much tougher assignment on this first start under rules since summer 2023, and the handicapper has not been generous in the meantime.

C&D winner (good) last summer when 11lb lower and successfully followed up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good), when 5lb lower; after a successful stint in points, he returned to rules last month equalling his career best when second at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good); up 3lb but likely to remain competitive.

Useful form in handicap hurdles at about 2m4f and time might show he had a tough task trying to give plenty of weight to the first two on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in June; major player off the same mark.

Perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up in a Grade 2 in December but it's been a progressive campaign otherwise and was a closing third over 2m6f at Kelso (handicap on good to soft) when last sighted later that month; unlikely that a lack of recent match practice will hold him back here and could be interesting.

Ran well on both visits here, winning over hurdles last March and second over fences in December; however, he's been out of form elsewhere on his last three outings, back hurdling on last two, and now has tongue tied first time; not proven over this far; 10lb claimer is recruited.

Form & Verdict
Back in fine form since fitted with a tongue-tie this spring, finishing second over hurdles before easily beating two rivals on chasing debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good); recent 3lb rise might have been a lot worse, and he remains unexposed over fences.

Won three small-field chases in early part of last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and ran better than eventual 18l defeat suggests at Perth (2m4f, good; hampered by final-fence faller) last month, after a layoff; will be fine over today's longer trip and goes on the shortlist.

Made a good start to his chasing career last year, winning three times between May and September (2m3f/2m4f, good), with two of them over C&D; also effective on good to soft, unproven on softer; he has a very solid record here and could play a leading role if fully tuned up after a break.

Seemed to run well when second of three behind the 1-50 winner in a Warwick beginners' chase (2m4f, good) last month but was pulled up in 3m1f handicap here 11 days later and is effectively 14lb higher from out of the weights this time.
