Has won one of four career runs to date and is rarely far away. Was in a hurdle (3900m) at Catterick last time and was beaten 6 lengths into third. Solid top-three chance again.

Debuted with a sixth in a bumper (3390m) at Newcastle All Weather two starts back. Didn't really kick on last start when 43 lengths away in ninth in a bumper (3100m) at Catterick. Prepared to risk again.

Returns from a spell of three months and looks set for a good preparation. Started just once last campaign and was among the placings in a bumper (3250m) at Hexham. Looks set to run well.

Yet to find the frame in two runs this prep. Returned with a fourth in a maiden hurdle (3300m) at Market Rasen then was 3.5 lengths adrift in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton five weeks ago. Sure to prove harder to beat this time.

Resumed after a 101-day spell last start with a modest fourth on the flat at Musselburgh over 3100m, beaten 22 lengths. Before that first-up run he transferred to the Mrs Jackie Stephen yard. Prepared to watch this time.

Not seen since finishing tenth over 2000m at Goodwood on May 3. Lining up over the jumps for the first time. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Returns from a spell. Only appeared once when last in work and finished third in a maiden hurdle (3400m) at Sedgefield, beaten 6 lengths. Worth thought on last run form.

Unwanted at long odds in last couple and has run accordingly. Not likely on recent form.

Didn't measure up last time when fourth in a maiden hurdle (4100m) at this track but previously finished a close third in a hurdle (3400m) at Carlisle. Shapes as a top-three chance.

Second up. Ran second and beaten 5 lengths in a hurdle (3200m) at Wetherby in soft going at very long odds first up. Will strip much fitter for the run. Looms as a significant threat here.

Finished fifth and never threatened last start in a hurdle (3900m) at Doncaster when beaten 56 lengths. Despite latest effort others rate stronger this time.

Returns for a new yard today and is making his jumps debut. Other runners are preferred.
