Point winner who improved on hurdles form to make a successful debut over fences at Catterick last month. Should have more to offer in this sphere.

Placed in both Irish points and bright start under Rules, unsurprisingly improving for switch to chasing when narrowly on top close home at Taunton (23f) in December. Not in the same form over a shorter trip at Huntingdon since but may fare better back over further.

Dual chase winner in 2019 but expensive to follow since and seen only 3 times in last 2 years.

Got the job done at the eighth time of asking over fences at Fakenham (24.2f, good) on return. Lost little caste in defeat when a clear second to a progressive type at Lingfield next time and easy to forgive latest run at Uttoxeter. Remains of interest.

Well backed (in first-time cheekpieces) and left reappearance effort in his wake when third at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) in November. Below that level at Haydock next time, though, looking a hard ride to boot.

Useful winning hurdler/chaser at best but has lost his way, well beaten all 3 starts this season after nearly 3 years off. Makes little appeal.

Three-time winner over fences/hurdles in 2020/21 but last term was a write-off and no show both starts this season.

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces when off the mark in handicap chase at Chepstow in February. However, below that form so far this term, so needs to step forward now. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f, good to firm, 9/4) last month. Remote third here since but this easier.

Little show over hurdles/in handicap chase for Kayley Woollacott/Charlie Longsdon and went with little encouragement at Taunton on yard debut/belated return. Headgear on. 10 lb out of weights.
