Six-year-old gelding who has been sent out long odds in recent jumps races, and has performed accordingly. Can't see him getting off the mark here.

Needs to show something after two poor efforts this prep, the latest when beaten 34 lengths in a 3200m hurdle at Kempton Park. Struggling and must improve sharply.

Has ability but last start could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 8 lengths, in a hurdle (3000m) at this track. Has won over the course and distance and looks hard to beat.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton then could only manage 11th most recently in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford. In the mix.

Hot and cold luck of late. Won by 7 lengths two runs ago in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter. Big change in fortune when he last time out in a hurdle (3800m) at Fontwell Park. Looks very hard to beat if he is on-song.

Finished second, albeit 14 lengths from the winner, two months ago in a small field in a hurdle (4000m) at this track. Sure to make his presence felt.

Extremely good jumper who has strung together two wins over the obstacles. Added to the tally last time in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford. Wouldn’t get off the bandwagon just yet.

Finished fifth and never threatened last start in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton when beaten 11 lengths. Worth including here if repeats the run.

Winner of both starts this time in, scoring in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter last time by 7 lengths. Expected to be prominent throughout. Expected to improve further and can measure up again.

Resumed after a 230- day layoff most recently and did not finish the race in a hurdle (3110m) at Leicester. Hard to fault on his best form.

Well held last start in a hurdle (3110m) at Leicester finishing fourth and beaten 19 lengths. Liked to look of last run and can feature again.

Eight-year-old gelding who was well held last time when eighth in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton. Others have brighter prospects.

Has been pretty poor this campaign. Didn't threaten over 3000m in a hurdle at this track last start. Hard to make much of a case on recent runs.
