Course winner who is on the same mark as his 3m win at Hexham (good) in May but he might have done better at Sedgefield recently when returning from a break (has won twice when fresh); perhaps the return to this track will see better from him.

Won this last year (good) and bagged another course win last month (3m, good); respectable efforts behind Elleon here (3m, good/soft) the last twice and might not be far away at a track he clearly likes. |

OR: 87
Front-runs; progressive 3m chaser in 2023 who wasn't seen after September that year and did well to win back hurdling at Ayr (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces left off, refitted today) last month, when beating a subsequent dual winner; 7lb higher than latest chase win but bold bid likely.

Only eight career starts and has made a good start to chasing; made all when beating So Be It over C&D in June; up 6lb and absent since (withdrawn from intended start 18 days ago) but could prove hard to catch again. |

Went quiet after winning at Hexham last October but he hinted at a revival over hurdles in October and he got up a good head of steam to win a Hexham chase (3m, good) 21 days ago; back up 6lb but three previous handicap wins were all off higher marks; has every chance.

Hinted at a return to form over hurdles last time; 2-2 in completed starts at Hexham, both wins off higher marks over fences, including in this race two years ago; interesting back here. |

11st 5lb |
Out of form over fences when last seen in the spring and now reverts to hurdling for first time since March 2022; needs 164-day break to have done him good but he won after a very similar layoff last October and has slipped to a tempting mark. |

Won first two starts, a point and a bumper, but out of luck in handicap hurdles and on chase debut at Hexham (3m, good) in October, when laboured from some way out; mark continues to head south; needs more for refitted cheekpieces.

C&D winner who scored off 4lb higher at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) last April but he's been out of sorts at biggish prices in his three runs this year and needs to get back on track. |

Both chase wins have been over 2m4f although has won a 3m point and was runner-up to Gibberwell in this race last season; not at his best recently; others stronger. |
