Form & Verdict
Will have appreciated a simple task in his members race last time after a hard-fought Didmarton dead-heat; in better heart than many, but it's a worry that all bar one of his four chase starts have featured their share of jumping errors, including this race last year (pulled up).

Form & Verdict
Easy winner of this race in 2024 (soft) and the Stratford champion event (good) straight after, and nearest miss since when held by a neck at Brocklesby in February; there's always the chance he'll thrown in a mistake, but case is still good on this easiest-looking hunter chase assignment for some time.

Form & Verdict
Outpaced on all four starts this year, latterly in hunter chases at Stratford (2m5f) and Exeter (3m), on which evidence the marathon on this card might have been a more comfortable fit; others are more persuasive.

Beaten between 17l and 33l in his last three hunter chases, getting outpaced at trips from 2m5f to 3m1f; tongue-tie is now added; probably playing for minor money.
