Has tackled small fields at his last couple and racing genuinely, finishing in the minors. Last start ran third in a hurdle (4400m) at Uttoxeter in the wet. Should be at his top. Can feature today.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 35 lengths into sixth in a hurdle (4600m) at this track. Before that first-up run he went to the Nick Scholfield yard. Key runner who is expected to feature.

Got back and was never really in the hunt when resuming in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow over 3900m. Fitter and stretches out further in journey for this. Improver and can sneak into the finish.

Back from a 267-day break. Finished off last campaign when fifth in a hurdle (5280m) at Stratford-On-Avon, beaten 21 lengths. Changed yards to the F M O'brien stable. Expected to play a major role.

Sent out at long odds in a steeplechase (5000m) at Wincanton last time but was eased out of the race. Deserves another chance and shouldn’t be far away.

Struggling a bit recently. Two starts back clocked-in sixth in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter. Didn't bounce back when he was pulled up last time out in a hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton. Might find this a bit too tough.

Gelding who is a 15 start maiden struggling to break through. Recorded another lacklustre performance in a hurdle (3900m) at this track when beaten 41 lengths at big odds. Unlikely to threaten without plenty of luck.

Clocked-in second two runs back in a hurdle (3900m) at this track. Repeated the dose last time when second in a hurdle (3900m) at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Ready to find peak form.
