Runner-up in a Class 5 chase at Uttoxeter on 4 October, beaten three lengths over two miles, he brings a solid recent effort to this contest. He looks capable of being competitive again from an unchanged mark of 105, with today's trip an extra one and a half furlongs. That Uttoxeter effort was much more encouraging than his tenth over hurdles at Haydock in April, when beaten thirty-eight and three-quarter lengths. Harry Brown has ridden two winners from three mounts in the past fortnight, a small but encouraging spell for the rider.

His close third over hurdles at Auteuil in September 2025 showed ability, but his subsequent British hurdle efforts have been less persuasive. He was beaten thirty-four and a half lengths when sixth here on 18 April, leaving him with plenty to put behind him. Returning after 192 days, he tackles fences in Class 5 and drops two furlongs from that Bangor run to two miles and one and a half furlongs. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero have a good course record, which offers some encouragement as he seeks a more competitive showing.

A Class 4 hurdle win at Catterick in March over a mile and seven and a half furlongs shows she has ability around these shorter trips. Her next two hurdle starts ended in a pulled-up effort at Kelso in March and an unseat at Newton Abbot in May. Those non-completions put the emphasis on a more assured round over fences as she returns from 174 days off. Jonjo O'Neill Jr. has ridden three winners from 19 mounts in the past fortnight, providing encouragement from the saddle.

Successive two-mile chase wins at Ludlow in February and Leicester in March give him a persuasive claim back in Class 5. He then finished second in Class 4 company at Fontwell, beaten four and a half lengths from today's mark of 102, 6lb above his Leicester winning rating. The Leicester success came on good to soft, so today's ground is another positive alongside the drop in grade. After 227 days off, he has the support of a Venetia Williams–Charlie Deutsch partnership with plenty of winning experience at Bangor.

Finished eleventh over hurdles at Ffos Las in April, beaten 29 lengths over three miles, and needs to leave that effort behind. His March third at Hereford also came with a substantial deficit of seventeen and three-quarter lengths, so that placing offers limited reassurance. He now tackles fences over two miles one and a half furlongs, six and a half furlongs shorter than at Ffos Las, after 189 days off. Jet Away has sired chase winners on good to soft, offering some pedigree encouragement for this assignment.

Third in a Class 4 hurdle here in April, beaten nine and a half lengths over two miles and half a furlong, he has useful course experience. He had also finished fourth at Sedgefield in March, although a nine-length defeat there suggests more is needed to make a winning impact. He tackles fences after 192 days off, over two miles one and a half furlongs, a furlong further than in April. Donald McCain's 242 winners from 1,285 runners at Bangor underline the stable's extensive winning experience at this course.

Third at Fontwell in May, but beaten seventeen and three-quarter lengths, he needs more than that placing alone might suggest. His current mark of 95 is 16lb above his rating for the Market Rasen chase win in October 2025, leaving him with a stiffer task. A second at Huntingdon in December, beaten two and three-quarter lengths on good to soft, offers a more persuasive example of his ability in today's conditions. A fall at Market Rasen in April also leaves his jumping under scrutiny as he returns from 166 days away.

Third over hurdles here on 16 May, he was beaten fourteen and a half lengths over two miles and half a furlong and needs more over fences. That effort followed a fall at Bangor in March, and he returns from a 164-day break for this assignment. There is encouragement for chasing in his family, with siblings Glajou and Heritier both having won over fences, although that guarantees nothing for him. Toby Wynne and the Greenall–Guerriero team have combined for 17 winners from 91 runners here, a useful record at this venue.

His fifth over hurdles at Chepstow on 11 October, beaten ten and a quarter lengths, was a better effort than his February defeat at Southwell. It still leaves him needing more over fences, but he returns to good to soft ground and drops two furlongs to two miles and one and a half furlongs. A mark of 75 is just below the 76 he raced from at Chepstow, so the change of discipline needs to bring something extra. Christian Williams has had three winners from nine runners in the past fortnight, providing encouragement from the yard.
