11yo who has a poor strike-rate and is without a win since June 2021, but he went close in this race last year (good to soft) and returned from a break with a fair third at Ludlow three weeks ago; could be thereabouts.

10st 10lb |
Handicapper quick to respond to an emphatic success here latest (almost 2m7f, good to soft) but, although back on his highest mark for 18 months, he's still a stone lower than when third in this race in 2021, still arguably his most recent good effort on ground soft or worse. |

Veteran with low strike-rate, last scoring in 2021; off since June and has his work cut out on 2023 form, especially from 5lb out of the handicap. |

His mark continues to fall but it's a long time since he's been competitive and he was well beaten here in June when last seen; refused to line up and withdrawn at Newcastle in May; others make greater appeal.

1st Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
In reasonable fettle early last year, winning over 2m at Catterick (soft) from a 12lb higher mark, but in modest form this year, refusing to line up when due to compete at Newcastle (on first go since wind surgery) a fortnight ago; difficult to know what to expect. |

16th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Dual chase winner in 2021-22 campaign but never really got going last season (five runs) and needs recent wind op to enable a revival. |

Early unseat when back over fences last month but prior to that she was a fair fourth over hurdles at Worcester following a long absence, and this two-time chase winner (including here) could go well granted a clear round.

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 5f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Began chasing career with two wins (one over 2m3f here) for Ali Stronge in early 2022; off the track for 523 days before respectable fourth over hurdles on last month's stable debut and looks interesting now back over fences and with that outing under her belt. |

18th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Clicked when sent over fences in a tongue-strap, early in 2022, winning her first two attempts (for Ali Stronge); something clearly amiss on final start 17 months ago; back hurdling on debut for Richard Newland and worth more than a cursory glance in the betting. |

Failed to threaten last season in his three novice hurdles but he showed some ability and this very lightly raced point winner is open to improvement now switched to fences for his handicap debut; firmly in calculations.

Won an Irish point in March but he was well held in two hurdle runs at end of last year; this looks another tough assignment and he will be more interesting when switched to handicaps; stablemate of Rock Hurley. |

Sole win (22 races under rules) came over fences in December 2021; well down the weights now and he was placed twice early this year but pulled up on final start last season (made mistakes in first-time blinkers) and same again on reappearance three weeks ago; bit to prove. |

He's now 7lb lower than when winning here (3m, good to soft) last November and is back here for the first time since, but his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to get back on track now in a tongue-tie.

Won a selling hurdle at Stratford (2m2f, heavy) in April for Olly Murphy; well-beaten fourth on stable debut in handicap hurdle there (2m2f, good to soft) next time and this is his first chase start, but he's lightly raced and could be a contender if taking to fences; wears a first-time hood.
