A distant tenth over hurdles at Wincanton in March leaves her needing to show more as she tackles fences after 242 days off. Her Class 2 bumper win at Aintree in October 2024 showed ability on good ground, offering some encouragement for today's conditions. Today's two and a half miles is five furlongs further than that Wincanton hurdle, adding a change of distance to the different obstacles. Anthony Honeyball and Rex Dingle have combined for eight winners from 40 runners at Plumpton, a useful positive as she seeks to make more impact.

His third at Southwell in November 2025, beaten a length and a quarter over two miles four and a half furlongs, gives him a chance from the same mark of 100. That was a marked improvement on heavy chase defeats at Uttoxeter and Stratford in October 2025, so consistency remains a concern. He also finished third over fences on good ground at Southwell in November 2024, offering encouragement for today's conditions. He now returns after 342 days off, over a trip half a furlong shorter than at Southwell in November 2025.

Beaten three quarters of a length when second over fences at Southwell in March, he has shown he can be competitive in Class 5 on good ground. He also finished second here in a Class 4 chase in February, although that was over two miles one furlong on soft. He unseated at Fontwell on 21 October, leaving him needing a clean round on this return 12 days later. Today's two and a half miles is two furlongs further than that Fontwell assignment, while his mark remains at 99.

Second over hurdles at Taunton in March, beaten two lengths on good ground, he showed enough there to make him of some interest over fences. His latest fourth at Ffos Las in May was another respectable effort over two miles, although he was eight lengths behind the winner. Today's extra half-mile poses a question after a distant sixth over this trip at Wincanton in April, and he returns from 181 days off. Anthony Honeyball and Sam Twiston-Davies have combined for six winners from 15 runners at Plumpton, offering encouragement from the connections.

His recent chase form leaves him with plenty to prove, having finished a distant fifth at Fontwell on good ground in May. That followed a heavy defeat at Market Rasen in December 2025, so a 2lb drop from his latest mark offers only limited encouragement. He returns from 172 days off over two and a half miles, close to the trip of that Fontwell run. Marc Goldstein has ridden 58 winners at Plumpton and brings considerable course experience to the partnership with Karen Jewell.

Finished fourth over hurdles at Fontwell on 15 October, beaten eight and a quarter lengths, and now returns to fences from a mark of 84. His close fourth over this trip on good ground at Lingfield in November 2025 gives him something to work with, having raced from 91 there. Subsequent chase defeats at Fontwell on heavy ground and Lingfield on soft were much less encouraging, so he needs to recapture that November effort. Joe Tizzard and Brendan Powell have enjoyed an excellent fortnight together, with nine winners from 23 runners.

Pulled up over two miles on good ground at Southwell in June, she returns from 146 days off needing to leave that chase effort behind. Her third at Hereford in May also requires caution, as she was beaten 20 and a quarter lengths in another two-mile chase on good ground. Her current mark of 83 is 4lb below her Southwell rating, though she needs to show more over fences to take advantage. She now goes up four furlongs to two and a half miles, asking for more stamina than on her latest outing.

His second over fences at Market Rasen in October, beaten four and a quarter lengths over two miles three furlongs on good ground, puts him firmly in the picture. That effort came from today's mark of 82 and gives him something to build on in another Class 5 chase. The extra furlong takes him back to two and a half miles, the distance of his hurdle win at Fakenham in October 2024. Bryan Carver has ridden three winners in the past fortnight, an encouraging sign.

Narrowly beaten when second in a Class 5 chase at Newton Abbot in May, he brings a solid piece of form to this contest. He races from the same mark of 82 and again encounters good ground, both reasons to take that performance seriously here. The drop from two miles and five furlongs to two and a half miles is modest, though he does return from 159 days off. Ben Godfrey adds useful course experience, having ridden seven winners at Plumpton, as he partners this five-year-old for Harry Ryall.

Won a Class 5 chase at Fontwell on 14 May over two miles three and a half furlongs on good ground, giving him a success in conditions close to today's. He now races from 79, 3lb above that winning mark, having finished third at Fontwell ten days later, beaten 11 and a half lengths. His second over this course and distance in March, beaten a length and three quarters on good ground, is another positive. He returns from a break of 162 days.
