Seven-year-old fresh off a 261-day break. Yet to miss the frame in three fresh up runs. No reason he can't run another big race resuming.

Overall jumps form strong with four wins from seven starts but ran well below best last time at Kempton Park when beaten 7 lengths in fifth place. Makes appeal on best and looks an each way chance here.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (4000m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 0.8 lengths. Reliable type with four jumps wins to his name. Worth thought on last run form.

Not raced for five months. Closed off last preparation when fifth in a steeplechase (4000m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 7 lengths. Others rate better this time.

Hasn't raced since finishing 37 lengths away in 11th in a steeplechase (4000m) at Pau 10 months ago. Will need more time.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (5030m) at Wincanton, beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks set to run well.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (3900m) at Bangor-On-Dee, beaten 14 lengths. Looks tested this line-up.

First-up after seven months off. Previous first-up placegetter but prepared to see how he has returned here. Happy to risk here.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (3970m) at Sandown Park, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has claims with the right run.

Is a strong first-up performer returning from a 194-day layoff. Kicked off with a win in a steeplechase (3900m) at this track when last in work. Well-placed here and sure to be tough to beat.
