Form & Verdict

0-4 over fences since switching to current stable this season but returned from break with two good seconds last month (2m4f/1m7f; good to soft); raised 3lb for his effort at Hexham on latter occasion but has a better performance in him if his jumping is more fluent here.

Form & Verdict

0-5 over fences, including two falls, last season but was placed in the three chases she completed, including two seconds off today's mark in March (2m, heavy/2m3f, good to soft); in the mix if tuned up after layoff.

Form & Verdict

Built upon last month's promising seasonal/chase debut when winning two-finisher event at Wetherby (1m7f, good) 18 days later; went up 5lb for that but the runner-up has been in pretty good form this autumn and this 7yo still has low mileage.

Form & Verdict

Dual hurdle winner on good ground in the spring (once here) and made promising seasonal/chase debut when second at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October; found Listed company too hot next time but was very much in contention before falling four out in Wetherby race won by Trooper Turnbull since.

Form & Verdict

Yet to win under rules but, following a wind op, has made the frame in three consecutive handicap hurdles this autumn (2m, good/good to soft/soft); has shown a worrying tendency to hang left but can be very competitive off current mark if he jumps soundly on this chasing debut.
