Verdict

The progressive CHUGGY looks capable of defying the handicapper again for the Skeltons. Rodney would have made a winning chase debut but for coming to grief at the last at Bangor and could pose the chief threat ahead of Harry Derham chase newcomer Norn Iron.

Verdict
Fairly useful novice hurdler for this yard last season. Runner-up finish in a point at the start of his career provides hope that he'll take to chasing and he returns with his yard in form.

Pair of novice hurdles last season. Disappointing favourite when last of 4 in 19f Doncaster handicap on chase debut/reappearance but still early days and interesting to see whether his supporters' are prepared to give him another chance.

Verdict
Free-going sort. Point/bumper/hurdle winner who shaped as if needing the outing when seventh of 10 on Chepstow chase debut/reappearance. Regular tongue tie left off now and hood refitted. Open to improvement but Ben Jones is on stablemate Wolf Moon this time.

Shaped up well in handicap hurdles prior to ending last season with a Plumpton maiden win in April. Respected chase newcomer.

Made it 5 victories from last 6 starts over hurdles when bagging 2m handicap at Uttoxeter in May but below that level in 2 chases since returning from a break.

Verdict
Every chance when fell last in sole point and made a winning hurdle last November. Didn't really build on that in 2 subsequent starts last season but retains potential on chase/handicap debut after 10 months off. Has first-time tongue tie fitted.

Two handicap hurdle wins last season. Good third in 2m Cheltenham handicap on reappearance but faded into a well-held fourth at Plumpton since. Makes chase debut.

Verdict
Added to his Uttoxeter chase debut success when seeing off 6 rivals in 2½m course handicap last month. Raised another 9 lb but it doesn't look enough to prevent this progressive 5-y-o making it 3-3 over fences.

Verdict
Won handicap hurdles on first 2 starts for this yard earlier in the year and should have brought up the hat-trick switched to fences on reappearance, 4 lengths clear and still on bridle when falling heavily last. Should be more to come assuming he's none the worse.
