Verdict
TRIBESMANS GLORY looked back in top form when third at Chepstow so gets the vote off a workable mark. The thriving Time To Bite looks the obvious threat, while Kadex was in the process of running his best race for a while before falling 2 out at Plumpton last time.

VerdictFairly useful hurdler/chaser in France who posted best efforts for current yard when placed in handicap chases at Wincanton and Leicester in December. However, lacklustre efforts both starts since so questions to answer now. Tongue strap back on- 4. KadexJ: Philip ArmsonT: Alan JonesF: PPF-PP5PF

VerdictHas dropped a long way in the weights since last success in October 2023, often failing to complete. However, was strong in the betting when falling at Plumpton 16 days ago, not yet done with when coming to grief late. Interesting contender.

VerdictDeservedly got his head back in front when capitalising on a lower hurdles mark at Stratford (18.7f, heavy) in October. Largely creditable efforts in defeat since, though turned in a rare poor effort back from a break last month.- 5. Tribesmans GloryJ: Ben Ffrench DavisT: Chris DownF: 6-61266P3

VerdictEnded losing run with a narrow success over fences at Warwick (20f) in May. Mixed record since but looked back in top form when third at Chepstow last month so needs considering off 1 lb lower.
