Form & Verdict
Won a low-grade Flat handicap last summer but has modest record over hurdles and was well beaten at Taunton (2m, good) last month, after a layoff; might be aided by refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but is not bred for fences; risky.

11st 7lb

J: James Turner

Won off this mark on his chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and the returning cheekpieces might help, but he's been tailed off on his last three chase starts and arrives with something to prove.

Winning chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May but progress stalled when beaten 53l at Market Rasen in July; shaped well when runner-up back over hurdles here (2m1f, good to firm) 11 days ago and resumes over fences in a first-time visor; has more to offer in this sphere.

T: David Bridgwater

Made a bright start to his chasing career when scoring at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and bettered that when third off 5lb higher at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; reverts to hurdles after a disappointing run at Market Rasen last time but not out of this if bouncing back.

Form & Verdict
Four chase wins, the latest off today's mark in this race a year ago (good ground); absent since some below-par efforts on slower-than-ideal ground towards end of 2025 and not getting any younger but booking of Sean Bowen drops strong hint he'll be primed for a bold defence.

Revitalised veteran who came second over C&D last month and scored at Worcester (2m, also good) 12 days ago; recent 4lb rise does look excessive but the forecast rain is probably not in his favour.

Four-time chase winner who has made the frame on all four starts since returning from a break in May, most recently when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month; has his limitations and is not getting any younger but ought to give another good account.

Low-mileage 7yo; pulled up on consective appearances towards end of 2025 and was only third best on merit when battling on for modest second of six at Market Rasen (2m1f, good; first-time cheekpiecs) last month but at least that recent run gives him something to build on.

Form & Verdict
Second in a point before readily made all in good-ground Perth bumper for an Irish stable last spring; made underwhelming start to hurdling career for new stable last season, with best of three runs his well-held second at Catterick (1m7f, good) in January, but switches to fences for this handicap debut and has plenty of scope for improvement.

Easy winner of a five-runner Perth bumper (good ground) last spring and later recruited for 60,000euros; fell when prominent in the market on hurdle/stable debut at Huntingdon in November and was well held in second when odds-on at Catterick last time; still early days in this sphere but he needs major improvement with equipment added after a break.

Built upon promising point debut when readily winning five-runner Perth bumper (good ground) for Irish stable in May, after which he changed hands for 60,000euros; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth but, nevertheless, he enters calculations on this hurdling debut.
