Form & Verdict
Hasn't had much racing and he came back from a spell pointing to win a four-runner hunter chase at this track in May; found life tougher back in handicap company when fourth of nine here (also 3m, good) the following month; this drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage mare who returned from six-month break with a good second of 13 in Kilbeggan beginners' chase (2m4f, good) in May; threw in a stinker on her handicap debut at this track (3m, good) next time, though, when beaten before the turn in; trainer's representative could offer no explanation for that.

Form & Verdict
Barring one blip at Sedgefield (made a bad mistake) he's been running well over a variety of trips since the visor went on, also a close second twice with the added tongue-tie; latest head defeat at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good to soft) came at the hands of one who has won subsequently; big player.

Won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August on penultimate run for Robbie Llewellyn and he scored on his stable debut at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; he didn't look straightforward on that latest outing but this course winner is entitled to respect nevertheless.

Form & Verdict
Went very close at Kelso (2m4f) in April after a break; slightly disappointing when dropped back to 2m in May and always behind over 3m (also here, good) last time; possible this trip is his sweet spot these days but does have a question to answer now.

Hasn't the best of strike-rates but both his wins have been here, the latest over C&D last July (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; disappointing up in trip here last time (didn't jump well); may have to race run to suit him but will need to jump better.

Largely consistent 10yo who belatedly opened his chasing account at Perth (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last summer; absent since below-par effort in October but ran well when fresh here (2m4f, good) last spring and returns from latest break on a workable mark.

Won twice on good ground (2m5f/2m3f) for this new stable last season and has been placed on last three appearances, most recently when second over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower today and seems very likely to be in the thick of things again.

Form & Verdict
Very useful staying handicap chaser in his prime but was pulled up five consecutive times during the 2023-24 season; some encouragement before weakening at this track (3m, good) on his return last month; shorter trip not ideal for this second run back from a 408-day break.
