Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 7yo whose sole start at Exeter resulted in his only hurdles win (2m); ran well at the weights in Doncaster contest (2m3f, soft) switched to fences last time; looks well treated off his unchanged mark back in a handicap and is open to progress in this sphere to boot; respected.

Lightly raced 7yo who won a 2m maiden hurdle at Exeter in December 2024; however, he failed to progress subsequently and considerable improvement is needed on this chase debut, following some time off.

Form & Verdict
Latest effort (chase debut) was better than his reappearance; may be about to reach boiling point and looks interesting in receipt of weight all round; gained last hurdles win off 3lb higher.

Delivered on earlier chasing promise when winning four-runner Plumpton contest (2m4f, good) by 22l in April; no match for progressive rival when second of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month but was badly hampered by a mid-race faller there and might be allowed an uncontested lead here.

Only his third run over fences when strolling home in a small field at Plumpton (2m4f, good); hit with a 7lb rise but his last win over hurdles was off only 3lb lower; good chance.

Fine on all ground; well handicapped on his peak form over hurdles and has only raced twice as a chaser; no match for the winner at Exeter last time (2m1f) but that horse was favourite and unexposed; respected.

Didn't run badly when fourth of nine at Windsor (2m4f, soft) last month and she continues to edge down the weights; however, she needs something extra today's if she's to break her chasing duck at the eighth attempt.

Has slipped to 2lb below last winning hurdles mark but seems far from certain to take advantage, being a fairly exposed mare who has failed to show her form in two starts this season, taking chase record to 0-6; faces some progressive opponents.

Three-time hurdle winner who built on encouraging seasonal/chase debut when readily winning three-runner C&D (soft) contest in November; raced too freely and was disappointing favourite at Ascot last month but remains one to be interested in.

Three-time winner over hurdles from eight attempts; made his chasing debut in a warm affair at Worcester (2m4f, good; winner won a Listed race at Cheltenham on Friday) last month and shaped well in fourth, only giving best at the last; should benefit from that outing and this is easier.
