PLAISIR DES FLOS found further progress when bringing up the 5-timer on return at Carlisle 3 weeks ago, only needing hands-and-heels riding to see off another upwardly-mobile sort (the pair clear). It's feasible to think the handicapper hasn't caught up with him yet on that evidence and Fergal O'Brien's 5-y-o makes strong appeal again. Double Powerful is of a very similar ilk and he's feared, as is Tune In A Box and Il Va De Soi in an ultra-competitive opener.

    Verdict
    Continues to go from strength-to-strength, typically travelling strongly when bringing up the 5-timer at Fontwell (19.1f) 7 days ago, not fluent late on but still drawing clear. Another meriting serious respect turned out under a penalty.

    Verdict
    Upwardly mobile 5-y-o who completed 5-timer in good style after 6 months off in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f) 3 weeks ago, always holding on under hands-and-heels ride. Handicapper applies a little more pressure but unlikely he's reached his limit yet. Player.

    Sole success to date come in a Cork bumper early last year. Some promise over hurdles initially and she comes here fit from respectable efforts in staying handicaps on the Flat in recent months. Interesting if the market spoke in her favour back over hurdles for shrewd stable.

    Back to best when winning at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) last December and found only one too good all 3 starts since, latterly on the back of 6 months off in 5-runner Fontwell handicap (19f) 23 days ago. Usual cheekpieces go back on now.

    Verdict
    Most progressive switched to handicaps last season, making it 4 wins from 5 starts when taking big-field contest at Punchestown (19.4f) in April. Shaped more encouragingly than bare result would imply on return in Silver Trophy last month and he remains potentially useful.

    Verdict
    Posted a fairly useful effort when a wide-margin winner of a Chepstow novice (2m, soft) in April. Not disgraced when sixth of 13 on handicap debut at Ayr (2m) later that month and interesting connections up him markedly in trip on return. Market may prove a useful guide.

    Verdict
    Progressive since the cheekpieces went on, confirming previous promise when off the mark at Chepstow (19.5f) in April and plenty in hand when defying an 8 lb hike at Uttoxeter (20f) later that month. Feasible to think there's even more to come this campaign.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful bumper winner who has made a sound start over hurdles, off the mark in a Hereford maiden (16.2f) in May. Similar form back from 4 months off when second on handicap debut at Wincanton (21.4f) 4 weeks ago but likely he'll need to pull out more to take this.

    Back-to-back winner at Chepstow last November and very encouraging start to present campaign when just touched off in a 25.5f Hereford handicap (good) in October. Not in same form when fifth back at first-named venue 17 days ago but he's a likely candidate to bounce back.

    Verdict
    Returned from a break at the top of his game, going one place better than at Stratford when bagging 7-runner handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f) 26 days ago, staying on well. More on his plate up 5 lb in this stronger affair but he's evidently thriving.

    Landed a big-field handicap at Cork (2m) in the spring and essentially remained in form since, good third over hurdles at Listowel (18f) in September prior to a solid second over fences at Clonmel (20.7f) 3 weeks ago. May be vulnerable from this mark back over timber, however.

    Caused a surprise after 6 months off when successful at Wincanton (15.2f) in October and, having escaped a penalty, he followed up at Warwick (21f) 10 days ago. Got away with some slipshod jumping on that occasion and this a taller ask in this more competitive environment.

    Verdict
    Off the mark with cheekpieces enlisted in small-field Ballinrobe maiden (23f) in August and backed that up when third in 16-runner handicap back at that venue (22f) a month later, running on late. No reason why he won't give a good account with this stiff finish expected to suit.

    Landed a bumper on first of 3 starts for Dan Skelton in 2022. Missed whole of last year but showed benefit of reappearance/yard debut effort at Taunton in March when second in a Wincanton maiden (15.2f) later that month. Still, this a tough introduction to handicaps/after 7 months off.

    Definite promise (fair form) on first 2 starts in maiden hurdles during 2023. Probably in need of run after 9 months off when last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Galway (19f) 38 days ago and he remains with potential having since switched yards. Stable also saddle Double Powerful.
