Strode clear for emphatic success in Pertemps qualifier at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in sole start this term, taking record since handicapping to 3-3; another big hike in the weights reflects his progress, which may well continue; greatly respected back down in grade.
Gained his Exeter success last spring in a weak maiden; has regressed in two handicaps this season; however, still lightly raced and this is a drop back in class, so may prove resurgent.
Modest efforts this term, taking chase record to 0-6; rallied to win at Southwell (2m4f) on last hurdles attempt, taking strike-rate in this sphere to 2-5; revival possible, provided he takes well to added visor.
Well treated on his Eider Chase win (off 1lb higher) last February but has totally failed to transfer the form back to hurdles in last two outings; something to prove.
Hurdles record of 5-32 includes wins over 3m on good ground at Wetherby in October and Haydock latest start; holding his form well and is better than ever; may remain competitive.
Commenced his current campaign with good-ground wins at Ludlow (2m/2m5f); flopped on soft at Sandown (2m) since; may still have more to offer but this new trip presents a question mark.
Folded tamely at Sandown last time; this Henderson runner is not totally written off but she has something to prove in this scenario, having gained both hurdles wins over 2m5f at Warwick against her own sex.
Opened his hurdles account in similar event at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last time; remains unexposed at this sort of distance and bumper form suggests he has the potential to do better still; shortlisted.
Successful in maiden last spring then proved consistent in handicaps until taking backward steps on RPRs the last twice; capable of being involved off current mark, provided he rebounds.
Proved unable to sustain early progress for previous yard but ran creditably over C&D last spring; dropped away on stable/seasonal debut, perhaps needing the run; check the market signals.
Consistent in 2025 and was still to be asked a question when falling two out at Sedgefield (3m3f) on last appearance; only 1-16 over hurdles, however, and is more exposed than some of these rivals.
Reverts to hurdles with cheekpieces refitted after looking quirky over fences last time; recorded his peak performance (second past the post, promoted to first) in sole attempt at Newbury; could go well.
Ran creditably at Hereford (3m1f) last time, bouncing back from two poor efforts, but this looks a tougher assignment; still seeking first handicap success above Class 5.
Gained his only wins at Wincanton in 2022 and 2023; not disgraced when runner-up in Class 5 at Lingfield (2m7f) most recently but looks unlikely to go one better in this stronger contest.
Skelton runner; opened his rules account in novice handicap at Aintree (3m, soft) last time, building on his good second at Southwell (2m4f); unexposed at this trip and looks the type to improve further; in the mix.
Moving in the right direction (form figures 4331, all off 10lb lower) in handicaps, drawing clear for 10l success at Hereford (2m5f) most recently; has to deal with new mark but may continue to show progress.
Scored twice last term but has proved unable to finish so strongly in two outings this season, losing second on the run-in at Uttoxeter latest; needs to raise her game in this deeper field.
