Second up. Very good off a break in a hurdle (3400m) at Newton Abbot last time out. Won previously second up and appears capable of building on that record here on the back of latest performance. Key chance in this line-up.

Returns after a lengthy layoff. Last appeared when he finished sixth in a bumper (3360m) at Exeter 10 months ago. That effort followed a winning debut 369 days earlier over the jumps. Can pose a serious challenge.

Ran 13th in a 3200m bumper at Warwick second up after a solid return when second. Can feature with the right run.

Back from a 255-day break. Had just one run last campaign and was sixth in a hurdle (3900m) at Doncaster, beaten 39 lengths. Others rate better this time.

Finished second, albeit 12 lengths from the winner, nearly four weeks ago in a small field in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter. Another bold showing likely.

Returned from a spell last start and was on debut over the jumps. Unfortunately on that occasion he came down in a hurdle (3200m) at Worcester. Makes plenty of appeal.

Not without promise on debut at Huntingdon. Hurdle debut. Best watched

Last raced when he rounded off his maiden campaign with a win by 1.75 lengths in a point to point (4828m) at Liscarroll P2p. Leading contender.
