Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (4090m) at Southwell, beaten 7 lengths. Can play a major role.

Made a strong return from a 239-day layoff last time out in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at this track finishing second when partnered by today's rider James Bowen. Before that first-up run he went to the Mrs A M Thorpe stable. Warrants thought.

Finished sixth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter, with today's rider Kevin Brogan piloting. Can find winning form this time.

Four-year-old filly who is back from a break. Wound up last campaign with a ninth in a hurdle (3400m) at Cheltenham. Would need to be on best behaviour to threaten.

Returned from a 221-day spell last start with a modest sixth on the flat at this track over 3200m, beaten 37 lengths. Fitter and is well placed back over the jumps.

Finished sixth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (4000m) at Worcester, with today's rider Conor O'Farrell aboard. That run was the first for the N P Mulholland yard. Needs to find a bit more to feature.

Finished fifth two runs ago in a hurdle (3900m) at Bangor-On-Dee. Bounced back last time when he saluted in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Hard to beat in this rich vain of form.

Has been off the scene for seven months. Last appeared when he ran an improved race to clock-in fourth in a hurdle (3200m) at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Can pick up where he left off.

Unwanted in betting last few and has run accordingly. Disappointing again last time and looking elsewhere.

Back from a 784-day break. Finished off last campaign when fourth in a hurdle (3300m) at Bangor-On-Dee, beaten 1.75 lengths. Solid top-three chance.

Returned from a spell in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Worcester but failed to finish. Isn’t among the top hopes.

Resumes after a break of eight months. Finished off last campaign with a fourth in a steeplechase (3500m) at Bangor-On-Dee, beaten 16 lengths. Has ability and worth including.

Has shown minimal form in recent runs, the latest in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow. Not threatening lately and others preferred.
