Returns from a break. Last raced seven months ago when he did not complete the course in a hurdle (4600m) at Bangor-On-Dee. Cannot be ruled out after that latest mishap.

Hasn't raced for seven months. Just one run when last in work and scored in a hurdle (4000m) at this track, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Makes strong appeal.

First-up after seven months off. Maiden galloper who has placed fresh but prepared to risk this line-up.

Back from a break of five months. Wound up last campaign with a fifth in a hurdle (4010m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 21 lengths. Others make more appeal.

Not raced for seven months. Closed off last preparation when sixth in a hurdle (4300m) at Fontwell Park, beaten 78 lengths. Key runner fresh.

Resumes today after a break of two months. Last raced when he pulled up in a 4600m steeplechase at Worcester. Can bounce back and feature in the finish while fresh.

Resumed after a spell last start with a modest sixth in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow. Has the ability to test the top fancies.

Finished ninth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (3900m) at Chepstow, with today's rider Sean Houlihan aboard. Fitter and sure to improve sharply.

Was safely held when fresh from a break last start, beaten 25 lengths into seventh in a hurdle (4300m) at Newton Abbot. Fitter and expected to do much better.

Form has tapered off since winning first up. Has claims on best form but needs to find it.

Returns from a spell of seven months. Concluded last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3900m) at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Expected to go very well.

Back from a 169-day break. Finished off last campaign when fourth in a hurdle (3200m) at Southwell, beaten 29 lengths. Has ability and worth including.

Returns from a spell. Last went to the races eight months ago when he did not finish the race in a steeplechase (3900m) at this track. Big task ahead.

Was pulled up in a hurdle over 4900m at Doncaster at the last run before a break. This looks too tough.

Has not struck a blow this prep. Two starts back when resuming. Finished tenth at the latest appearance in a hurdle (4600m) at Market Rasen, beaten 44 lengths. Looks to have the job ahead.
