Mixing the disciplines recently. Unplaced two back on the flat then finished second last time in a hurdle (4200m) at Kempton Park, beaten 11 lengths. Certainly worth another chance in this suitable contest.

Not raced for six months. Closed off last preparation with a minor placing in a hurdle (4400m) at Stratford-On-Avon, beaten 22 lengths. Must include among the chances.

Finished ninth two back in a hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter. Turned things around last time to get the prize in a hurdle (4200m) at Ludlow by half a length. Major player again.

Well beaten in a Stratford-On-Avon hurdle last time when sixth. Looks tested without significant improvement.

Has been racing on the pace at his two starts this time in, the latest finishing third in a hurdle (3900m) at Huntingdon. Suited here and fitter again. Sure to go close.

Returns after a spell of six months. Opened the last campaign with a solid third in a hurdle (4600m) at Bangor-On-Dee, beaten 1.75 lengths. Overall first-up record reads well, with two placings from four runs. Tough to make a case.

Nine-year-old mare who is back from a break. Wound up last campaign with a sixth in a hurdle (5300m) at Newton Abbot. Resuming in tougher. Rates a place hope only on run before a spell.
