Resumes after 10 months break. He showed little last campaign. Unlikely to have improved enough for this. Hard to have in this field.

Not raced for nine months. Closed off last preparation when seventh in a hurdle (3300m) at Doncaster, beaten 13 lengths. Sure to be tough to beat.

Struggled to find form at the end of last preparation. Resuming after three months break. Will need to produce a great deal to figure in this race. Not likely to threaten.

Was returning from a 256-day layoff last start when he was pulled up in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick. Others rate better.

Was disappointing first-up last start when sixth, beaten 26 lengths, in a 3200m hurdle at Ffos Las. Top chance, with upside.

Finished ninth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (3700m) at Exeter, with today's rider Lorcan Williams piloting. Can find winning form this time.

Proved too strong last time over 3200m in a hurdle at Uttoxeter, scoring by 25 lengths. Hard to hold out again in this sort of form.

Has been off the scene for nine months. Last appeared when he ran an improved race to clock-in second in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton, beaten 19 lengths. Hard to fault.

Has not raced since finishing ninth in a 3750m hurdle at Stratford-On-Avon nine months ago. Among the top-three prospects.

Four-year-old who has been safely held at big odds lately. Looks outclassed again here.

Finished tenth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (4000m) at Ffos Las, with today's rider Ellis Collier aboard. Improvement in store.

Recent efforts on the flat have been sound. Placed at Wolverhampton two starts back then finished just 8 lengths adrift over 3300m at Wolverhampton last time. In the mix again back over the jumps.
