Looks close to a win after finishing a narrow second in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford, making it two placings on end this campaign. Fitter again and looks close to a win. Hard to beat.

Disappointed when resuming last start in a 3300m maiden hurdle at Taunton, finishing sixth and beaten 61 lengths. Needs to find more at this stage of campaign.

Made a strong return from a 93-day layoff last time out in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton, finishing third when partnered by today's jockey Isabelle Ryder. Fitter and sure to go well again.

Five-year-old who resumed over 3800m in a hurdle at Taunton 21 days back, finishing seventh and beaten 77 lengths. Further improved but others rate better.

Five-year-old gelding third-up here on the back pretty moderate runs this campaign. Ran seventh in a hurdle at Fontwell Park in latest. Looks tested this line-up and others preferred.

Honest galloper who finished fifth when fresh from a spell last start in a 3200m hurdle at Chepstow. Honest galloper with strong claims at the second run back.

Finished seventh two back in a maiden hurdle (3250m) at Hereford then again missed out in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford last time. Looking to others.

Returns for new trainer today and is making his jumps debut. Resuming in a tricky race.

Five-year-old gelding who has been unwanted in betting in recent jumps races, and has performed accordingly. Looks tested against this line-up.

Made a winning debut, scoring over 4828m in a at Tallow P2p when sent out as favourite. Rates strongly and has good upside. Well worth following up.

Returned from a spell last start with a modest ninth in a maiden hurdle (3000m) at this track. That run was the first for the I Chanin yard. Others rate better.

Two runs this prep have been moderate. Opened with an unplaced effort in a bumper (3118m) at Thurles then finished sixth last time in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow. Not sure he is up to this.

Finished a 21 length fifth in a maiden hurdle (3000m) at this track when second-up and has been safely held at both runs this campaign. Fitter but appears tested in this line up.

Shirocco gelding who made his debut last time out and finished sixth in a bumper (3200m) at Chepstow. Must improve sharply.

Safely held in two runs this time in, the latest finishing a 47 length sixth in a maiden hurdle (3300m) at Taunton. Likely to find this too tough without big improvement.

Less than impressive this prep. Two runs ago when resuming. Finished eighth at the latest appearance in a hurdle (3500m) at Fontwell Park, beaten 78 lengths. Looks to have the job ahead.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3200m) at Ffos Las, finishing fifth when partnered by today's rider Luke Scott. That run was the first for the K Bishop yard. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Has been a model of consistency this time in, the latest placing in a maiden hurdle (3300m) at Exeter. Overdue for a maiden success and can open winning account this time.
