Form & Verdict

Took his form to a new level last winter, most notably when winning by 9l over C&D (soft) in January; just 1lb higher today, admittedly needing to put his last two runs behind him but the latest was after 203 days off and he could be all the better since that run, which is what happened second time out last term; considered.

Won two in a row last winter (2m/1m7f, good/soft) and back to winning ways at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not be far away but probably needs a career-best to defy a 4lb rise in this hotter race.

Took form to new level during the winter, most notably when winning by 9l at Sandown (1m7f, soft); will also be suited by the forecast quicker ground here and his current mark ought to be workable if he's fully tuned up after 203-day break.

Form & Verdict

Good-ground specialist who did very well in spring/summer 2022, winning three handicap chases and two novice hurdles; ran creditably in the second of his three runs this year and has dropped 4lb since but he needs to be at his peak and seemingly needs the ground to dry out.

Form & Verdict

4yo who won narrowly on chasing debut in France (2m1f, very soft) in March; no match for the winner in a four-runner race at Cheltenham (2m, good) 16 days ago but that was a solid British debut, which he should be able to build on; probably a major player.
