Won by 8l over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last January and on that evidence this 4lb higher mark shouldn't be beyond him; however, he's been well beaten this season on his first three chase starts.

Form & Verdict
Very mixed record under rules but he won a point last May and easily made all in a first-time visor over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago; strong claims up 10lb if the headgear maintains its positive effect.

J: Tom Hutsby

T: David Bridgwater

Got off the mark when winning a Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, soft) in February and he's finished runner-up in four over his five starts since; his latest second was behind Knightsbridge at Warwick but he has big swing in the weights with that rival and should be in the thick of things again.

Has continued to run well since his Huntingdon win in Februaray (2m4f, soft), last time giving everything in a narrow defeat over C&D; 2lb higher with Tom Hutsby again aboard; should have every chance.

11st 4lb

J: Tom Hutsby

T: David Bridgwater

Off the mark when well clear at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February but paid the handicapping price after; it's been harder since but he was unfortunate to run up against one who relished the new 3m3f test at Stratford (good) in April, although he still ran well; major player in first 3m run.

Form & Verdict
12yo; well beaten on last two starts but before those he ran well when third at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) where 8lb higher; of interest on that form and perhaps the first-time blinkers (replacing a visor) will give him a boost.

Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out.

Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent over hurdles and well beaten last April when last seen but was a 7l second at Stratford (2m6f, good) prior to that; showed promise in points in spring 2023 (including on soft ground) and trainer has better strike-rate with chasers compared to hurdlers; interesting on chase debut.

J: Ned Fox

T: Clive Boultbee-Brooks

Consistency remains an issue and he had barely started the final circuit when pulling up on his chase debut here (2m4f, heavy) three weeks ago; maybe the ground was an issue that day and cheekpieces, which his half-brother wore to win five of his six races, are now fitted; hard to be confident but his yard's ticking along and this is uncompetitive.

Close third over fences at Fontwell last April but such high points have been scarce in his winless, 17-race rules career; well-beaten fifth in points on his last two starts; reverts to rules with something to prove.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off at big odds on all three hurdle starts and she's 3lb wrong at the weights for this handicap/chase debut; however, her dam was a two-time chase winner and this very lightly raced 8yo might improve for fences; interesting to see how she goes in the betting.
