Consistent 5yo who opened account at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in January and made the frame on final two starts last season (2m7f/3m, good); drops back in trip today and will probably be in the shake-up again. |

Consistent 5yo who asserted on run-in to open account at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in January, his seventh start over hurdles; placed off today's mark at Ascot (2m7f, good) last month and ought to be on the premises again. |

2-5 over fences, having dominated from the front here (2m1f, good) and at Cartmel (2m5f, good) in June; dropped out of contention worryingly quickly here (2m3f) on latest outing but a contender if all is well today.

Has won two of his four starts over fences (one here) when very much at home dominating in front; up 7lb since latest at Cartmel (2m5f, good) but he's a good jumper and on a roll. |

Off the mark over fences at second attempt, making all to win comfortably at Stratford (2m1f, good) this month; not in same form when remote third at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) six days later but has had a longer break before this race and could have untapped potential over the longer trip. |

Reproduction of the form level of any of 2021's four good-ground hurdle/chase wins may suffice; completely out of form for a while now, however, faring no better back over hurdles without headgear latest. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Badly lost his way over fences last year and now reverts to hurdling for first time since 2021; lurks on a tempting mark and might have been refreshed by 193-day break but his usual cheekpieces are missing. |

Dual chase winner this spring, latterly when getting up close home in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester (2m4f, good) in June; both subsequent runs were respectable; can feature here if change of headgear has positive effect.

Found plenty in first-time cheekpieces when winning over C&D (good) last month and matched that level when fourth off this 6lb higher mark here three weeks later; place claims but probably needs more for the win. |

Found plenty in first-time cheekpieces when getting up in the final strides to deny Jac Jumper over C&D (good) last month to land his second win over fences; up 6lb and there should be little between the two of them but he may win again. |

Struggled on chasing debut in Ireland in 2021 and all subsequent rules form is over hurdles; came good for Gary Hanmer at Southwell (2m4f, soft) in May and was placed here (2m6f, good) in July but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon; tongue-tie fitted for first time.

0-8 over fences but yet to finish outside the frame and seems pretty versatile regarding trip and ground; fair fourth at Worcester this month when tried in a visor (now replaced with usual cheekpieces) and likely to have a big say in a weak race. |

Modest form over hurdles for Jeremy Scott, including in three handicaps off marks in the 70s; won a weak good-ground members race (point-to-point) in May but has enough to prove back under rules making her chase debut, despite her lowly mark. |
14/1 |
