Missed the frame two runs ago in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Southwell then wound up in sixth most recently in a hurdle (3300m) at Doncaster. Must be a chance in today's scenario.

Safely held in recent outings, the latest in a hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton. Looks safely held on recent form.

Needs to show something after two poor efforts this prep, the latest when beaten 30 lengths in a 3200m hurdle at Southwell. Should benefit from those runs and cannot be underestimated.

Is back from a spell of 10 months. Scored two back at Fakenham before winding up the campaign with a fourth in a hurdle (4360m) at Fontwell Park. Look for a bold run while fresh.

Disappointing when fifth last start in a hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton after scoring in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford two starts back. Top chance if at his best.

Two starts back. Finished seventh last time, beaten 16 lengths, in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Southwell. Hard to fault on his best form.

Missed the frame the start before last in a hurdle (3110m) at Leicester. Atoned for that run last time when he saluted in a hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton. Hard to beat in this rich vain of form.

Has been safely held in his last few runs, the latest when beaten 24 lengths into seventh over 3900m in a hurdle at Huntingdon. Racing well below his best and others are going a lot better.
