Hasn't been with this trainer for very long, but hasn't pulled up any trees in two starts for him, and a bitter disappointment when a well beaten even money favourite last time out. Excuses are starting to run out and he can't be entertained in his current form.
Left a few mediocre efforts well behind when making all and returning to form at Fontwell last time out, and handicapper has not overreacted, putting him up just 5lb. However, not the most consistent so although every chance on that win, maybe not one to rely on.
Generally jumps well but capable of making the bad mistake, which was again the case over this C&D last time out, one bad error causing his young rider to be unshipped. Has gone well here before and gut feeling is there's races in him, but he does need to put a clear round in.
Likes it here and last two wins have both come at this venue, so today's likely conditions fine, but has looked regressive for some time now and unless turning his form around in a major way, doesn't look a likely winner.
Had been sent off massive prices for novice hurdles and chases without showing much, but only made a 7/1 chance for handicap debut here in late January and was still in contention when falling five out. Market check is advised again today.
Veteran has a moderate strike rate (just 3-41) in his career and hasn't shown much spark for a while now, the handicapper dropping his mark quickly. Likely conditions fine but no realistic chance on current form.

Connections are striking whilst the iron is hot with LAKESHORE LADY, who jumped well and came away for a decisive success at Fontwell last week. This race is no harder and she can follow up whilst in such good form. Code Of Law needs to get it together in the jumping department but would be a big danger if he does, and he and Remember Forever look the ones most likely to fill the places, although any money for Grayhawk should be noted.
