C&D winner (three ran) last July and beaten a neck over 2m4f here (similar mark) last October; below par in two starts this year, lacking fluency when beaten 36l at Bangor (2m4f, good) latest; a possible on peak form.

SR 90 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Dual point winner; still seeking first rules win (0-6); likes to race prominently, weakening on the run-in when last seen over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) in April; went down fighting over fences at Stratford 12 days ago; player.

Won at Galway (2m, good) in July 2024; downhill thereafter, ending time in Ireland competing on the Flat; third of five at Exeter (2m; 33-1) on second start for this trainer but tough to fancy on strength of his other two efforts.

SR 66 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.
Broke his duck over jumps at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in January; that wasn't a particularly strong contest and he has been absent since; now 3lb higher.

SR 85 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Runner-up in a Warwick bumper and glimpses of ability over hurdles, none more so than when falling two out at Ludlow (2m, soft) in February; lacked the pace to challenge on handicap debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) but still unexposed; tongue-tie added.

Sole win came on the Flat at Tipperary (7.5f) in June 2021; twice runner-up at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good) this time last year; weakened quickly on latest start at Bath last August; isn't impossible, but reasons to oppose.

Won at Wincanton (1m7f, good; from 2lb lower) last November, but lost his way and unseated in March; stayed on into modest fourth at Hexham (2m; beaten 12l) three weeks ago, though; slightly more needed.

Runner-up over C&D on final start for Nicky Henderson last May, and again on first start for this trainer (6-4 favourite) the following month; badly out of sorts since and remains winless; handicap mark has plummeted accordingly; clear risks attached.

Won in France in 2023; struggled in three starts for Nicky Henderson and limited since joining this trainer; attracted market support but weakened from the second-last when third of five at Huntingdon (2m4f) 17 days ago; dropping back in trip is a sensible move.

Won on the Flat (about 1m3f) in June 2024; well beaten all three starts over hurdles, including when jumping left on occasions at Ffos Las (2m4f; handicap debut) three weeks ago; now 3lb lower; look elsewhere.

0-11; pulled up in three of his last five runs; returns from six-month break on just his third outing for trainer (also represented by Alex The Great); an easing mark aside, there aren't too many positives.
