Last start ran in a hurdle (4100m) at Plumpton but was eased out of it. Capable enough and shouldn’t be far away.

Was unplaced two back in a hurdle (3300m) at Newbury. Filled a minor prize last start in a much better performance in a hurdle (3100m) at Ascot, beaten 2.75 lengths. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

In the money two runs ago in a hurdle (3220m) at this track. Repeated the dose at the latest outing when second in a hurdle (3380m) at Cheltenham, beaten half a length. Cannot be written off.

Returns from a 254-day spell. Finished off last prep with a win in a hurdle (3200m) at Perth, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Reliable jumper with three wins to his name from six starts. Will find this a real test first-up.

Keeps improving with each run this campaign. Still seems to have further improvement left in him after a good effort last time in a hurdle (3100m) at Ascot. Looks well placed here and expected to go close.

Talented jumper who returned to form to score in a hurdle (3100m) at Ascot last time out. That came on the back of an unplaced effort in a hurdle (3100m) at Ascot two runs ago. All set to continue the strong recent form.

Has returned in fair form. Placed when resuming two starts back in a hurdle (3270m) at Stratford-On-Avon then was beaten 18 lengths into fifth in a hurdle (4100m) at Newcastle five weeks ago. Right in the mix.

Did a reasonable job when he finished fifth in a hurdle (3100m) at Ascot last time out, following on from a win in a hurdle (3100m) at Leicester. Big task ahead.
