Up-and-coming five-year-old who was second on debut then scored in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Southwell last time out with 4.5 lengths to spare. Hard to go past.

Won two starts back in a hurdle (3200m) at this track to add to his impressive record. Followed that with a reasonable third last time, beaten 7 lengths, in a hurdle (3400m) at Aintree. Ideally placed.

Unplaced in two appearances this prep, both over the jumps. Finished tenth when resuming then was 87 lengths away in tenth more recently in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow. Big task ahead.

First two career runs haven't been overly fruitful. Finished 23 lengths away from the winner in eighth place in a Haydock Park hurdle last start. Prepared to overlook.

Returns from a brief spell. Last appeared when he finished fifth in a bumper (3200m) at Worcester three months ago. That effort followed a winning debut 303 days earlier in a bumper (3200m) at this track. Sure to make his presence felt.

Sound start to racing and has shown ability in three career starts to date including placings the last couple. Close to a win. Gets chance to break through.

Missed the placings in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Warwick two back then improved to wind-up third in a maiden hurdle (3950m) at this track last time out. On his best jumping form is sure to prove hard to beat.

Yet to land a glove this prep. Two runs back when resuming. Finished 13th at the latest appearance in a hurdle (3170m) at Ludlow, beaten 35 lengths. Might find this a bit too tough.

Third-up here after being well held in two runs this campaign,the latest beaten 27 lengths in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Likely to find this too tough without big improvement.

Lightly-raced five-year-old who placed in a flat race on debut at Worcester two runs back. Could only manage ninth most recently, again on the flat, over 3200m at this track. This looks a stern test.

Was ordinary on debut in a hurdle over 3900m at Wetherby, beaten 32 lengths. Others are preferred.

Resumes here after three months off. Has finished sixth in both career starts and needs to turn form around sharply to threaten in this. Others look more appealing.

First up from a spell today for a new yard and is making her jumps debut. Was in sparkling form before the spell, stringing together 2 wins. A solid return wouldn't surprise.

Was responsible for a nice effort last time out when he finished runner-up on his jumps debut in a hurdle (3330m) at Doncaster. Prior to that run the four-year-old had gone across to the C E Longsdon yard. In the mix.
