Finished third and never threatened last start in a steeplechase (4800m) at Hexham when beaten 15 lengths. Liked to look of last run and can feature again.

Did fairly well when he finished second in a hurdle (4300m) at Wetherby two runs back. Improved sharply to score by 6 lengths in a hurdle (4100m) at Newcastle at the latest outing. Major player again.

Followed up a poor run two starts back with a second in a steeplechase (4800m) at Fakenham last start. Expected to feature.

Returns from a 259-day spell. Finished off last prep with his first jumps success, taking in a steeplechase (4500m) at Leicester, scoring by 28 lengths. Sure to prove tough to stop.

Showed encouraging signs first up on November 13 when second in a steeplechase (5300m) at Sedgefield. Key runner who looks hard to beat.

Resumes after a break of five months. Finished off last campaign with a fifth in a steeplechase (4800m) at Perth, beaten 45 lengths. Might need this run.

Still chasing her elusive maiden success after 25 career starts. Finished eighth last start in a steeplechase (4800m) at Hexham. Has ability and is a top-three prospect.

Two runs this prep have been moderate. Opened with an unplaced effort in a steeplechase (4200m) at Sedgefield then clocked-in fifth last time in a steeplechase (4200m) at Sedgefield. Looking to others.
