Returned from a spell last start with a modest eighth in a hurdle (3400m) at Carlisle. Fitter and sure to improve sharply.

Useful jumper who was unplaced when resuming in a in a hurdle (3400m) at Aintree two starts back. Turned in a better effort last time when he got the money in a hurdle (3300m) at Doncaster by 1.3 lengths.

Finished third two back in a LR steeplechase (3900m) at Chepstow then could only manage fifth last time in a steeplechase (3200m) at Uttoxeter, beaten 16 lengths. Right in the mix.

Still a maiden but has managed to finish in the placings at his last two, most recently when third in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Ludlow. Best efforts measure up and is a definite winning chance.

Was first up from a 158- day spell most recently and came down in a hurdle (4100m) at Newcastle. Big task ahead.

Well beaten in a Uttoxeter hurdle in soft going last time when fourth. Has ability and can do much better this time.

Well held last start in a hurdle (3800m) at this track finishing third and beaten 18 lengths. Strong finish latest and looks a key chance again.

Finished fourth and never threatened last start in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow when beaten 11 lengths. Rates well and can feature in the finish again.

Returned from a 239-day spell last start with a solid third in a hurdle (4100m) at Ayr, with today's rider Conor Rabbitt piloting. Others rate better.
