Form & Verdict

11-race maiden who hasn't built on his second of seven over hurdles at Hereford (2m4f, good to soft) in March; could only manage a midfield finish in one go over fences in France and more needed after six months off.

Left disappointing British debut a long way behind when second at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in March but two lesser efforts have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.

Ex-French gelding who ran well on his first start since wind surgery when second of seven at Hereford (2m4f, good to soft) in March, but didn't back it up at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; still to truly prove he wants this far.

Form & Verdict

Was returning from 433 days off when making it 3-6 over fences with a convincing success at Wincanton (2m, soft) last month, despite jumping badly to his left; 8lb rise understandable and he will be happier going back left-handed, but he still needs to prove his stamina over this sort of trip.

Form & Verdict

Made it third-time lucky over fences when scoring from 1lb lower at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January and ran creditably to finish third in both subsequent starts; off nine months, but has run well fresh before and holds each-way claims.

Added to her hurdle win when scoring over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month and she ran well again when a 3l third of six at Wetherby last time; still lightly raced in this sphere and she has possibilities back up in trip.

Came good over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) on New Year's Day, where she travelled well for most of the way and found enough when it mattered; moves up in grade here but a recent 3lb rise doesn't look excessive and she's open to further progress over fences; respected.

Pulled up over hurdles on his return from nine months off at Stratford (2m3f, soft) 20 days ago, but showed ability in four starts over fences last season including a win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft); each-way claims if that recent run has brought him on.

Won over fences at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) 12 months ago and was a fair third in that sphere on his final run in the spring; now returns to hurdling after 217 days off but he's on a dangerous mark back in this sphere and needs watching in market.

Fourth of seven here (2m, good) on his third start over hurdles in May, but pulled up on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m7f, good; first-time visor) eight days later; runner-up in his only completed point and cheekpieces are now given a go, but he still makes only limited appeal.

Improved on previous efforts when fourth of ten at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and now 6lb below his last winning mark, but he has been off another 310 days since and his record suggests he may need this run.
