Form & Verdict
Third over 3m5f here in February and then won over 4m at Hexham, narrowly with cheekpieces reapplied; clearly stays well but has won at 3m and should go well if ready to rock as was only raised 3lb for last time.

Has won over 4m so did well to win over 3m here (good; has won on soft) in October when only 2lb lower; comfortably held since at Uttoxeter (3m2f) but has the form and attributes to feature in a race of this nature.

Form & Verdict
Ran okay in a higher grace over C&D when last seen in April, especially as he made a good few mistakes; only 1-29 over fences and runner-up too many times for comfort, but hard to rule out.

1-37 and still surprisingly error-prone despite so much chasing experience, leaving his mark on several fences en route to a 8l C&D fourth latest (good); frame finish probable but hard to predict better even off this career-low mark whilst the mistakes remain; cheekpieces return.

J: Robert Dunne

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Extremely hard to win with, having won only one of his 34 races over fences and runner-up on 13 of those occasions; even if he jumps better than last time (beaten 18l), he'll probably find a way to come up short; a rare run without any form of headgear.

Launched chasing career with two heavy defeats in the autumn (3m/2m4f) but returns to racing under rules after winning good-ground maiden point by 11l last month; interesting to see what the market makes of her.

Form & Verdict
Easily won a 3m1f handicap chase at Wincanton in March when blinkered for the first time and, having escaped a penalty, was close up at Hexham a week later; now 7lb higher and has moved yards, so remains to be seen if he's in the same form after seven months away and with the headgear removed.

Inconsistent this season and well beaten at Bangor a fortnight ago; however, he won off this mark at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November and was a good second over C&D (good to soft) last March; shouldn't be written off.

Only 1lb higher than for his Catterick win in November (3m1f, good) and went close back there in January; does have his off days (finished last when third on final run) but there's a big run in him if he fancies it.

2-6 in handicap chases, the latest win by 10l at Bangor (3m, good; 8lb higher today) last April; creditable second there when returning in October but backward steps on her two starts since; latest (Windsor on New Year's Day) is a worry.
