Disappointing favourite back at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f); otherwise a useful sort and had returned to form with close second at Windsor the time before; not written off, albeit has stamina to prove back up in distance. |

Best on good/good to soft; has notable C&D form, namely a respectable seventh (best of the runners who raced prominently) in this contest last year and emphatic success next time; unlucky second at Windsor on New Year's Day when last seen; back on career-high mark but looks solid. |

Better known as a hurdler and has had some jumping issues over fences (even when he won) but he kept on well for clear second in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m6f, good) six weeks ago and gets another chance off the same mark here. |

Very five-time winning useful hurdler, rated 147, goes on any ground; ran to form when 3l second on chase debut at Galway (2m2f, good) 25 days ago; was well held by Daddy Long Legs over hurdles at Limerick in July but was off a break and now has the benefit of a chase run under his belt; big chance. |

Hasn't fulfilled the promise shown when winning his first two hurdle starts in late 2024 but Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December was a step back in the right direction in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) and this point winner could be suited by the switch to fences; possible player. |
