Form & Verdict
Lightly raced since the last of three hurdle wins in March 2022; dangerously well handicapped and wouldn't put it past him running well after a long absence, especially with Sean Bowen an eyecatching booking.

Has failed to show peak form since returning from long layoff but has done enough to suggest he's interesting off current mark dropped in grade and belatedly returned to Musselburgh; dual course winner as a youngster.

No win since his juvenile campaign; long absence prior to two efforts this term, seeming to need July run then faring better in October; still needs to prove he retains peak ability but market support should be noted.

Novice winner who didn't have too much trouble in defying a 5lb lower mark at Bangor (2m, good); whether she'd want soft ground is questionable but good to soft would be okay.

Just did enough to justify short odds at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in May but found a 40-1 outsider too strong when warm favourite to follow up in modest race at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month; may still have potential but will need to up her game to overcome top weight on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
A 13lb higher mark than for his last hurdle win asks questions of him but he returns to this scene after a good run of form on the Flat; good to soft okay but softer could be troublesome.
