Was very good when returning from a 105-day layoff most recently, beaten 3.5 lengths into third in a steeplechase (4800m) at Uttoxeter. Has ability and strips fitter. Worth including.

Not raced for nine months. Appeared just once last time in and finished third in a hurdle (4950m) at Wincanton, beaten 4 lengths. Presents a serious threat.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (4900m) at Southwell, beaten 4 lengths. Could prove tough to stop.

Returned from a spell last start with a modest tenth in a hurdle (4800m) at Wetherby. Needs to go up a level.

Well held fresh in a hurdle (4000m) at Worcester 20 days back when finishing fifth. Doubt he will play a substantial role in this.

Nine-year-old gelding who is back from a break. Finished off last campaign when third in a hurdle (4700m) at Hexham. Resuming in tougher grade. Needs to find best to be competitive here.

Failed to finish for the second run in succession at the last outing five weeks ago in a steeplechase (4700m) at Huntingdon when he took a tumble. Won't find this easy.

Finished ninth when fresh from a spell two back in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Worcester. Atoned for that run last time to grab second in a hurdle (4000m) at Worcester, beaten 6 lengths. Can return to winning ways.

Second up. Ran second and beaten 0.8 lengths in a hurdle (4360m) at Fontwell Park first up. Will strip much fitter for the run. Has found a suitable race and expected to feature.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (4400m) at Stratford-On-Avon. Atoned for that run last time when he filled a minor placing in a hurdle (4400m) at Stratford-On-Avon. Must be a chance again.
