Returns from a 314-day spell. Started just once when last in work and was successful in a hurdle (3200m) at Southwell, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Reliable jumper with three wins to his name from six appearances. Worth including.

Made a strong return from a 343-day layoff last time out in a hurdle (4110m) at Leicester, finishing second when partnered by today's jockey Toby Mccain-Mitchell. Fitter and sure to go well again.

Resumes today from a spell of three months. Was going well at the tail end of last prep, scoring two back at Plumpton then finishing with a minor placing in a hurdle (3200m) at Plumpton. Expect he will be forward enough.

Unplaced two starts back in a hurdle (3100m) at Leicester then produced a better result last time when he finished fourth in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow, beaten 4.5 lengths. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Unplaced in two outings this prep, both over the jumps. Finished fourth when first-up then was 21 lengths away in fourth more recently in a maiden hurdle (3100m) at Leicester. Certainly worth including.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (4100m) at Southwell, finishing sixth when partnered by today's jockey Charlie Hammond. That run was the first for the Stuart Edmunds stable. Others rate better.

In the money two runs back in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford. Repeated the dose last time when third in a hurdle (4100m) at Plumpton, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can return to the winner's stall.

Second up. Very good off a break in a hurdle (3500m) at this track last time out on a heavy surface. Likely to measure up strongly on the back of that and is capable of improvement. Further improved and expected to be in the finish.

Impressive winner in a hurdle (3700m) at Exeter first-up two runs ago then wasn't in the hunt when tenth more recently in a hurdle (3900m) at Hereford. Might find this a bit too tough.

Resumed after a spell last start with a modest sixth in a hurdle (4000m) at Sedgefield. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Returned from a 630-day spell with a solid second in a hurdle (3500m) at this track last start. That run was the first for the Gary & Josh Moore yard. Can find winning form this time.

Finds it hard to win and facing a drought of more than a year but wasn't far away last start when third, beaten 8 lengths, in a hurdle (3200m) at Fakenham. Confidence low and needs to do more.

Making heavy weather of things recently. Two starts back wound-up in eighth in a hurdle (3900m) at Wetherby. Hopes of a rebound were dashed when he more recently in a hurdle (3800m) at this track. Hard to fault on his best form.

Won two back in a hurdle (3500m) at this track then was below par last time when he finished seventh in a hurdle (3400m) at Cheltenham, beaten 24 lengths. Looks to have the job ahead.

Scored a strong win by 2.5 lengths last time out in a hurdle (3800m) at this track. Well placed here and can measure up again.
