Useful chaser who signed off in the autumn with win off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m5f, good); has gone well when fresh before but is quite tricky to weigh up on this first start over hurdles since 2022.

Consistent chaser who was better than ever in dominating a small field at Fakenham two runs back (2m5f185yds, good); didn't run badly in defeat last time and off a light weight he could have a part to play.

Made it 4-15 over fences when forging clear to win by 9l at Fakenham (2m5f, good) last month; that was in a small field but he hit a personal best with that success and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected.

3-14 over fences, the latest win gained at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November; just a respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) this month, his second start after a layoff, and remains on fairly tough mark but still enters calculations.

Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely.

Seemingly back in prime form when beating a subsequent Cheltenham winner at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December but wasn't at same level when weakening third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month, after a break, and needs that recent run to have brought her on.
