Three places and 59l ahead of Betty's Tiara over C&D last week (good), though still well held himself and simply isn't coming very close at present to recording a first win beyond 2m1f; 5lb badly in compared to future mark.

0-8 over hurdles but she's been a big improver since switched to chasing and completed a double with an emphatic win at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 19 days ago; now 11lb higher but she's on a roll and could continue on an upward curve over fences; key player.

Got off the mark on her 13th start under rules, and her fourth attempt over fences, when accounting for two rivals (only one other completed) at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last month; runs off the same mark and this is tougher but still holds claims.

Cut little ice in a handful of runs over hurdles but this Irish point runner-up was much improved on his chasing debut when a 28-1 winner of nine-runner handicap over C&D two weeks ago; up 5lb but open to progress, so he's a player.

0-6 over hurdles, having been well beaten in three handicaps this spring (2m1f-2m4f; cheekpieces added last time); last year's Irish point second offers a ray of hope on this chasing debut but it still takes a big leap of faith to support him.

Opened his account over fences with an emphatic win at Fontwell (2m2f, good) last month; will find it tougher off 10lb higher but should be kept onside.

Just four starts over fences and, after finishing tailed off in the first and refusing in the second, he showed he might be getting the hang of things when sixth of ten at Exeter (2m3f, good; weakened) last month; needs to take another step forward but that's not out of the question.

Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works.

Four chase wins include two here, one in this race last year; creditable return from a break at Fontwell in April but he's struggled in two Warwick runs since, the step up to 3m seemingly not the main issue last time; just below his latest winning mark though so hard to dismiss.

All four chase wins have come over shorter distances but this far is worth a go; ran quite well after a break at Fontwell and when beaten 27l into second here last time he was going well when clouting four out.

Very modest hurdle form but she went chasing off a career-low mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June and took a healthy step forward, keeping on well against one in a good run of form; back up 2lb; can threaten.

Twice placed in 2m4f hurdle races here last summer (good) but ended last year's campaign on a low, achieving little on October's chasing debut; can't be certain he will hit the ground running in 2026.

Flat-bred, but one half-brother has won three chases; trail has gone cold since the summer's pair of Worcester 2m4f handicap hurdle frame finishes (good), and moderate results last time cheekpieces were tried.
