Comment: Did well in staying handicap hurdles in 2023, finishing first and second once the cheekpieces went on; favourite for recent belated return at Ffos Las (3m, good) but trailed in last of the four; may have needed that and a tongue-tie is now added for chase debut.

Comment: Trainer has won the last two renewals of this race with Prince Cleni; this 6yo isn't without hope of providing him with a hat-trick as he was running well until being only a little below his best last time (second run in cheekpieces).

Comment: 0-8 but has run well in both her handicaps, bumping into an improver at Warwick (2m3f, good) and beaten under 7l back there over 2m5f; has a race in her off this mark.

Comment: Now 0-15 under rules after twice finishing tailed off over fences; was second over hurdles at Leicester in November when 7lb higher so can't be ruled out with a tongue-tie joining cheekpieces, especially with Sean Bowen up top.
