A dual chase winner at around 3m last season but he's an unreliable type and his more recent form is far less encouraging; others appeal more.

0-10 over hurdles but a four-time chase winner; not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but stuck to his task well when fourth (over fences) at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; possibilities. |

Gained a first chasing success over C&D in April but he was soon struggling when pulled up on his reappearance at Uttoxeter (3m) last month; blinkers replace cheekpieces; lots more needed.

10st 9lb |
Sometimes races lazily but he made the most of a drop in the weights to win at Hexham (3m, soft) in April when last seen on his seventh chase start, following three non-completions; wore visor/blinkers last five starts but now it's cheekpieces (tried twice in spring 2022); back up 6lb but a player if this is another of his good days. |

Can race lazily but he made the most of a drop in the weights to battle it out over C&D (soft) a month ago; 6lb higher but a greater concern is whether he'll be as good again. |

Reliable sort; off six months and went without her usual visor when a fading fifth in 2m4f handicap here on her seasonal return; this C&D winner should take a step forward now so merits serious consideration off an easing mark.

Won off 9lb higher here (3m, good to soft) last April but that is her sole win from 22 starts over fences and she was well held in final five runs last season; returns from 173 days off and she has some work to do back at this trip; change of headgear. |

Just held on to win off today's mark for Mike Smith at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) in April and may not have been suited by the heavy ground when well beaten on recent stable debut but others have more appealing profiles all the same; cheekpieces refitted for first veture beyond about 3m. |

Two respectable efforts at Hexham since a narrow Carlisle victory and record as a chaser is 2-9; one of the likelier candidates and won't mind if the ground eases a little; first outing at this track. |

An 11lb rise was surely a factor in him coming up short over C&D latest (heavy; won under same conditions the time before) but he does have a solid record at this track; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

On a dangerous mark and perhaps he'll have been helped by a break, but he was badly out of form earlier this year and returns with plenty to prove. |

14th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner whose sole success under rules came at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in 2021 when 7lb lower; acts here and on soft; form has tailed off of late but would have claims from this mark if reproducing his Wetherby effort from January. |

Ex-Irish maiden who registered a first success for his new yard in C&D handicap last May; that was 18 months ago though so he needs to hit the ground running on his comeback if he's to defy a 5lb rise in the weights.

7th May 2022 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
His sole win was in an Irish bumper in 2019 but he ran his best race for a long time when runner-up off a reduced mark over C&D (good to soft; third run for current yard) last month; finished well for a clear second in that race and has claims if he can back that up. |

11th Apr 2022 Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and he took a step back in the right direction when sixth here (2m4f, good to soft) last month on his second stable start; however, he needs something extra today and is unproven at this trip; sole win came in Irish bumper in 2019. |

C&D winner in 2021 but he didn't offer much last term and failed to complete in three of his four starts; lots more is required after eight months off.

Put disappointing seasonal debut behind him when respectable third at Kelso (2m5f, heavy) last month but ran lacklustre race in C&D event won by Ardera Cross two weeks ago and now has it all to prove again. |
