Struggling to find form and has not made an impression in runs. Goes up in distance for this but hard to see him playing a part.

Going well this prep. Placed first-up two starts ago in a hurdle (4900m) at Doncaster then found the frame again last start in a hurdle (5200m) at Warwick, beaten 4.5 lengths. Well-placed to take this out.

Last start was in a hurdle (4900m) at Doncaster when eased out of the race. Unlikely to feature.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (4700m) at Chepstow, finishing ninth when partnered by today's rider Charlie Deutsch. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Last start ran in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newbury but was eased out of it. Capable enough and shouldn’t be far away.

Was most recently at the races a year ago. Started just once when last in work and won in a hurdle (4800m) at Wetherby, getting home by 13 lengths. Leading contender - bold showing expected.

Has kept to flat racing at his last 7 starts. The latest effort saw him clock-in second over 3300m at Wolverhampton. Well placed back over the jumps and expected to feature.

Returns from a 109-day spell. Generally goes well when fresh, with a win and three placings from five first-up runs. Kicked off last prep with a solid second (3200m) at Kempton Park All Weather. One of the better hopes in the race.
