Facing a winning drought of more than a year but not too far away last time when third in a steeplechase (4200m) at Fakenham 25 days ago. Needs to find a little more but looks one of the chances.

Returns from a spell of seven months. Made just the one appearance last campaign and finished in the minors in a hurdle (4100m) at this track, beaten a neck. Expected to go very well.

Not raced for seven months. Closed off last preparation with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3300m) at Newton Abbot, beaten 11 lengths. Must include among the chances.

Back from a 228-day break. Finished off last campaign when fifth in a hurdle (4800m) at Wetherby, beaten 18 lengths. Makes strong appeal.

Hasn't had things go right of late. Two runs back wound-up in fifth in a steeplechase (3900m) at Stratford-On-Avon. Didn't bounce back when he last time out in a steeplechase (3560m) at Fontwell Park. Should prove hard to beat.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (3300m) at Exeter then finished fourth most recently in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick. Will be thereabouts.

Eight-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Wound up last campaign with a third in a steeplechase (3300m) at Fakenham. Looks safely held against this tougher line-up fresh.

Unplaced in two runs this campaign, both over the jumps. Finished seventh when fresh from a spell then was 59 lengths away in ninth more recently in a steeplechase (3300m) at Worcester. Looking to others.

Was retired from the race at Worcester three months ago. Has shown some ability over the jumps. Hard to see her in the placings here.
