Back in prime form when holding on well to score over C&D (good) on last month's chase return and now 4-10 over fences; recent 3lb rise does not look excessive and there's a good chance he'll be right in the thick of things again.

Three-time winner over fences (once over C&D) in early part of last season; returned from break with two below-par hurdle runs this spring but could be back at concert pitch for this return to chasing; a possible.

Won five over hurdles for previous yards and three over fences last term for current trainer; may have needed the run when seventh of eight finishers at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month after six-month layoff but probably needs to come down the weights.

A third win over fences at Stratford on Tuesday and he's 9lb lower for this return to hurdling (0-9); has to be of interest with trip/ground ideal.

Dual chase winner but has yet to match that level in three starts this year, including when seemingly not staying 3m at Hexham 24 days ago; drop back in trip should suit but he needs to stage a revival.

Both wins have come at Downpatrick (2m3f); plugged on to finish a modest second at Plumpton (2m1f, good; beaten 21l) 11 days ago; that should have given him confidence though - fell at Killarney prior - and this extra yardage could suit.

Poor strike-rate and both wins were in Ireland; mostly consistent in small-field chases this season and the return of blinkers is a probable plus after trying a visor last time; has been running over shorter but stays this far; versatile ground-wise.

Yet to add to his two Irish hurdle wins in 2021 but consistent in small-field chases this season, with best run arguably his second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; swaps usual blinkers for first-time visor; will probably be on the premises again.

Dual chase winner but his good runs back from an absence were over hurdles and he returned to fences last time when not so clever; considered off what remains a competitive mark.

Triple hurdle winner who made it fourth-time lucky over fences when beating two rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) in March; fell at the 12th at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month but he's was still travelling well at the time and he should have more to offer as a chaser; respected.

3-13 over hurdles; only his fourth start as a chaser when too strong for two rivals over 2m at Chepstow a month ago (soft; 3lb lower); this quicker ground won't bother him at all and neither might the longer trip; good claims.

Second of four on chase debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last July and returned to form when third of six at Kempton (2m2f, good) in October last time; won on heavy ground on the Flat in 2023 but best jumps form has come on good to soft or quicker; in with a chance if conditions suit.
