Last raced when he rounded off his maiden campaign with a win by 1.3 lengths in a hurdle (3200m) at Worcester. Strong winning chance.

Back from a 192-day spell. Concluded last campaign with a win in a bumper (3300m) at Taunton, scoring by 6 lengths. Sure to prove tough to stop.

Has not raced since kicking off his career six months in a point to point (4828m) at Quakerstown P2p when beaten 2.5 lengths into third. Looks one of the better hopes.

Five-year-old gelding who is back from a break. Finished off last campaign when ninth on the flat. Resuming in tougher. Rates a place hope only on run before a spell.

Has not raced since he failed to complete the course in a point to point (4828m) at Lisronagh P2p seven months ago. Must be given another chance.

Was retired from the race at Worcester five months ago. Still a maiden over the obstacles. Forgive latest but looks a place chance only here.

Debuted 212 days back and was beaten 55L before being sent straight for a spell. May well have improved over the break, but still favouring others.

On the comeback trail. Last appeared when he finished eighth in a bumper (3200m) at Ffos Las six months ago, that effort coming on the back of a moderate sixth on debut 62 days earlier. Others make more appeal.

Did a good job to be beaten one length when second on debut in a point to point (4828m) at Lisronagh P2p eight months ago. Has not been produced since. Key runner.

Four-year-old gelding who is back from a break. Finished off last campaign when fifth in a bumper (3140m) at Haydock Park. Tougher class here fresh and not expected to threaten this line-up.

Returns from a 237-day spell. Started just once last campaign and was racing for the second time overall, scoring in a hurdle (3250m) at Hereford. Nicely-placed and expected to go very well.
