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.

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.

Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but he won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May before a creditable third at Uttoxeter 11 days ago; did well to hang in there after being pestered for the lead last time and he's been an improved performer since switched to fences; respected.

Low-grade Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles but made a successful chase debut at Fakenham when too good for Getaway Jewel and one other finisher; this is deeper and he's up 5lb.

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.

J: Brian Hughes

T: Micky Hammond

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.

J: Liam Harrison

T: Robbie Llewellyn

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.

J: Charlie Price

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.
