Form & Verdict
Won point bumper last March; has been feeling his way over hurdles for new yard and while a handicap debut at Catterick was just mildly encouraging, he fared better when a close fourth in a big field at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last month; can do better again; thereabouts.

Got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle in February and made a winning chase debut over C&D (good) 17 days ago; only four of the 13 managed to complete but a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up.

Won a novice handicap hurdle at Carlisle in February (2m3f, soft); creditable second over 3m at Doncaster next time but was disappointing with cheekpieces tried at Musselburgh last time (3m, good to soft; reportedly never travelled); headgear retained for chase debut.

Won at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last month on third handicap start and 14l second of seven at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) 13 days later; kept to a similar trip, today's sharper track could be a positive, and this lightly raced 6yo wears first-time cheekpieces; remains open to improvement.

Form & Verdict
Three Flat wins but 0-11 over hurdles and although he's weighted to win a race he didn't shine when upped to 2m4f at Market Rasen (good to soft; favourite) last time out; has plenty to prove with this stiff test.

Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher.

Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up.

Very ordinary handicap form in 2024 but she's come into her own for new yard, getting up near the line at Newcastle and quite impressive at Southwell (both about 2m4f; heavy and good to soft) 14 days ago; hooded each time but not today; back up 8lb but this stiff test can suit; respected.

2-5 for new stable this year; gained the wins on heavy and good to soft ground but coped perfectly well with good ground when close third at Kelso (2m5f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; hood (worn for three of her last four races) is discarded; likely contender again.
