Form & Verdict
Won 2m2f chase in France in 2022 but missed 2023 and 2024; best effort for current was a second back over fences at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December and it wasn't his fault when he fell early on at Leicester (got hampered) last month; conditions should be fine here and he's in the mix off a dangerous mark.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy profile but he returned to form when scoring at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) last month; back up 4lb in the weights but he remains feasibly treated and his penultimate win was over an extended 2m3f on soft ground; respected.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f/3m1f) last winter and latest was off 1lb lower on heavy ground; looks interesting on that form but he's been up and down since and was pulled up here on Boxing Day; needs to bounce back again after that and he comes with risks attached.

Made it 3-7 over fences with narrow win on his C&D reappearance (good to soft) in December; only 1lb higher here but he's been disappointing since that last success and was pulled up at Exeter (first-time blinkers) last time; regular cheekpieces are now reapplied but he needs to get back in track.

Wincanton specialist who kept on for second there (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); he's run well here in the past but needs to prove his stamina, having faded over 3m1f at Wincanton in December.

Form & Verdict
Some creditable efforts towards the end of last year, including when runner-up behind Saint Cyr De Pail at Exeter (2m3f, heavy); has a swing in the weights with his old rival but he didn't fire at Taunton last time and his last win was two years ago.

Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky.
