Making only second start for this yard, ran best race after 3 months off when runner-up to a well-treated type in novice handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19f) in August. In good hands so he commands respect on chasing debut.

Has taken well to chasing this year, confirming the promise of her first 2 outings when making all in handicap at Hereford in May. Unable to lead when fifth of 10 at Uttoxeter last time, so no surprise to see her bounce back.

Lost his form after back-to-back wins at Stratford last summer, but having eased back down in the weights there's been encouragement the last twice. Confirmed his previous effort when second of 7 over this C&D 3 weeks ago, so he could be in the mix.

It's now over 3 years since his sole success, which came over hurdles in Ireland. Was in the process of showing better signs when falling 2 out in handicap chase at Sedgefield early this month, before third on the Flat 13 days ago. Yard has been quiet of late, though.

Little impact in bumpers and first 2 starts over hurdles, but under a change of tactics she made all for a 150/1 success in maiden hurdle at this course early in the month. However, was last of 3 in mares handicap at Plumpton 5 days ago. Makes first start over fences.

Runner-up in maiden hurdle at Wincanton on second start but failed to kick on last season, below form returned to maiden company when sixth of 13 at Hereford in April. Off 5 months since ahead of chasing debut.

Dual winner over hurdles who justified strong support on second chase start when landing handicap at Market Rasen in April, form franked by the runner-up since. Shaped as if still in good form before falling 3 out at Hereford the following month. Major player.

Opened her account under Rules in handicap chase at Newcastle in March and shaped as if still in good heart at Warwick next time. After 4 months off, was struggling to hold her place in second when falling at Cartmel 25 days ago, but she could step forward from that outing.

Remains a maiden but was let down by a mistake at the last when third at Taunton in March. Failed to build on that effort in 2 subsequent outings, though, again making jumping errors when third of 7 at Warwick in April. Off 5 months since.
