Won at Aintree in May after finishing second there in April, the latter a Class 1 effort beaten a length and a quarter. That gives him a credible chance in this grade, but he must recover from being pulled up at Chepstow on 10 October. His mark of 133 is 4lb above his rating for the May success, so a return to winning form would require more. That Aintree win came over 2m4f on good ground, making today's 2m4½f a familiar sort of test.

His second to Goodwin over this course and distance in November 2025 reads well, beaten three lengths in Class 2 company on good ground. Finished third at Chepstow on 11 October, seven and three quarters of a length behind the winner over two miles on good to soft. The extra four and a half furlongs now bring him back to a trip at which he has already run well here. A mark of 127 is 5lb above his latest hurdle win, at Bangor in May 2025.

His return to hurdles at Fontwell on 21 October was disappointing, finishing sixth on soft ground and beaten 53 and a half lengths. That followed a pulled-up effort over fences at Galway in September, so his recent performances leave him with plenty to prove. Today's mark of 127 is 3lb above his Downpatrick hurdle-winning rating from June 2025, making a substantial revival necessary. The return to good ground offers some encouragement, as he won a hurdle at Gowran Park on that going in October 2024.

A close third over 2m5½f at Wincanton in April showed he could compete from today's mark of 124 on good ground. He subsequently finished sixth in Class 2 at Fakenham on 4 May, beaten seven and three quarter lengths over 2m4f. Although a winner here over 2m in October 2025, he was pulled up over today's 2m4½f the following month, tempering enthusiasm for his course return. After 182 days off, he resumes just 1lb above his Sandown winning mark from November 2025, giving him a reasonable starting point on ratings.

His January hurdle win at Sandown came over 2m4f on good ground, so today's conditions offer a suitable setting if he can reproduce that effort. A mark of 124 is just 1lb above his rating for that success, although this is Class 2 rather than Class 3 company. The concern is his subsequent pulled-up effort at Ascot in February, and he now returns from a 261-day absence. Dylan Johnston has ridden two winners from ten rides in the past fortnight, offering some encouragement from the saddle.

Course-and-distance wins on good ground in November 2025 and April 2026 give him plenty to recommend him here, with the earlier success coming in this grade. He needs to improve sharply on his October fifth at Fontwell, however, when beaten 22 lengths in Class 4 company. Today's mark of 121 is 3lb above his rating for the April win, so he has a little more to do. His May third here, beaten three and a half lengths from 122, suggests this mark need not rule him out.

His November 2025 and April 2026 hurdle wins came here over two miles and four and a half furlongs on good ground, giving him plenty in his favour under today's conditions. The April success came in Class 3 from 113, so this Class 2 handicap demands more off 121, an 8lb higher mark. He returns from a 210-day break following that April victory. Paul Nicholls has saddled 42 winners from 153 runners at Plumpton, a strong course record that offers further encouragement.

Won a Class 3 hurdle over this course and distance on good ground in November 2025, giving him a strong starting point in these conditions. His current mark of 121 is 3lb above that success, while today's Class 2 company presents a stiffer test than he faced then. Finished fifth in this grade at Taunton in January, beaten 14 lengths over 2m3f on good to soft. He returns to hurdles after 219 days off, having been pulled up over fences at Uttoxeter on 28 March.

His fifth at Ascot in March offers encouragement, beaten four lengths in a Class 2 hurdle on the good ground he encounters here. He was less convincing at Auteuil on 16 May, finishing eighth on heavy ground and beaten 17 and a half lengths. A mark of 118 is 4lb below his Ascot rating, giving him a more favourable starting point if he can reproduce that performance. Today's 2m4½f is two and a half furlongs further than at Auteuil, adding a stamina question to his return after 170 days off.

Returns to hurdles having won over 2m4f at Sedgefield and Perth in March and April 2025, both successes coming in Class 5 company. Today's Class 2 assignment is considerably tougher, and his hurdle mark of 115 is 15lb above his rating for the Perth win. His January third over fences at Cheltenham, beaten two and a half lengths in Class 2, shows ability in the other discipline. He nevertheless needs to recover from being pulled up in a chase at Market Rasen on 17 October.

Ran well when second over two miles here on 19 October, beaten three lengths on good ground in a Class 4 hurdle. The extra four and a half furlongs offer encouragement, given his Worcester win over 2m4f on good ground in September 2025. He is back on the same mark of 114 as for that success, which gives him a reasonable chance on his better hurdle form. This grade asks more, although his sixth in Class 2 at Kempton in November 2025 came from a 10lb higher rating.

Comes here after winning over 2m2½f at Cork on 11 October, with that success on good ground providing encouragement for today's going. The extra two furlongs should hold few fears, as he won over today's 2m4½f at Down Royal on yielding ground in March. His September second at Roscommon, beaten four and a half lengths over this distance on good to yielding, adds substance to his recent form. A mark of 113 is 16lb above his rating for the Cork win, however, and demands a fair step forward.

Fourth in a Class 1 hurdle at Chepstow on 10 October, beaten seven and a half lengths, he brings respectable recent form to this lower grade. His March win at Newbury came from 125, just 1lb below today's mark, so his rating remains close to winning form. He was well beaten over today's 2m4½f at Newbury in November 2025, though that came on soft ground rather than today's good. His Kempton second on good ground in January offers reassurance about the going, leaving the longer trip as the more pressing question.
