'In a nice rhythm round here when convincing over C&D latest; up 7lb but still improving'

'Has course form; creditable hurdle debut for new yard in January; of interest back chasing'

'Solid 2m4f form since chasing, including in well-contested C&D handicap latest'

'Losing run goes back to September 2023 and had shortcomings in this race last year'

'Made good progress over fences for new yard; should be suited by this test; handicap debut'

'Pulled up in both Festival runs, including this race last year, so has a track query'

'Powerful front-runner; two C&D wins last winter; slow start to season; potential reviver'

'Finished 3rd in the Gold Cup and Ryanair at last 2 Festivals; way below form this winter'

'Won yard debut over 2m4f last spring; looks to have a stiff task from out of weights'

'Won the Plate in 2023; not in such good form now; probably needs more weight off his back'

'Close 3rd in 2m Grand Annual last March; never raced beyond 2m2f under rules'

'Some sterling efforts on both courses here but beaten about 9l in last 2 runnings'

'C&D winner in late 2023 on sole course start; better than ever of late; high in weights'

'Good 3rd in this two years ago and came out best last March; now just 2lb higher'

'At his best here and good second in 2023 running; losing run goes back to late 2023'

'Much improved in 2m1f chases this winter; right up weights; not ruled out back up in trip'

'Improved wins at Ascot and over C&D; 6lb higher than for the latter; yard won this 3 times'
