Reportedly jumped better than on his previous start (here) when returning to form to win at Sedgefield last time (3m2f, soft); has a chance on that, but isn't particularly consistent.

Form & Verdict
Point, bumper and dual chase winner at up to 3m1f, all on slow ground; below par at Kelso latest (2m5f, good to soft); on a competitive mark if bouncing back but will need to produce better than he has previously done on good going.

Justified favouritism over 2m5f on this card last year (good to soft), and added a Catterick stayers' event in the winter, both off 4lb lower; all wins on good to soft and soft but last month's Sedgefield second on good was the equal of his peak soft-ground form; chance.

Progressive in cheekpieces this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and posting a good second at Sedgefield (3m2f, soft) last time; it's possible the first-time blinkers will prompt a positive reaction today but he's up in grade and a career best is necessary.

Form & Verdict
Got off the mark under rules when jumping well in a Newcastle handicap chase (2m7f, good) 13 months ago; off the track for 348 days prior to her return over that C&D last month, when easy to back and beaten 23l; well treated back on her winning mark and could come on for her reappearance.

Second reserve; point winner got off the mark under rules when winning a novice handicap chase at Newcastle in March last year (3m, good); has raced just twice since then and ran poorly; makes stable debut off 4lb lower mark compared to her win; a tongue tie and cheekpieces go on.
