Winning Irish pointer. Improved when off the mark in 3m Ffos Las handicap on his reappearance last season. Failed to match that form next 2 starts, however, and disappointed on chase bow at Carlisle on return.

Ex-pointer who made a highly impressive start to chasing career when cruising clear in a 5-runner handicap at Southwell on return. Decent fifth at Exeter since and big shout back down in class.

Point winner who improved over hurdles in the spring, second over 19.5f at Bangor in March before going one better over 23f there 4 weeks later. Shaped as if better for the run making his handicap debut after 6 months off at Aintree and should make a chaser.

Bumper winner in Ireland and fair form on best run over hurdles for Henry de Bromhead. Well held at Chepstow for new yard on return. Makes chase/handicap debut.

Progressive over hurdles towards end of last term and there were positives to take from his reappearance/chase debut fourth at Carlisle (2½m, soft). Entitled to come on for that and return to this trip will suit.

Much improved to win first 3 starts in handicap chases but pulled up all 4 starts subsequently. Lots to prove.

Fairly useful winning handicap chaser in 2022/23 in France. Claimed for €13,001 in April and offered something to work on making his yard debut/reappearance when sixth of 13 in handicap chase (33/1) at this course (19.4f, soft) 25 days ago, barely adequate test. Back up in trip.
