Encountered a small field last start and found Lon Chaney far too good in a maiden hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter, finishing 8 lengths away when the judge called a halt. Could prove tough to beat.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a maiden hurdle (4000m) at this track, finishing fourth when partnered by today's jockey Shane Fenelon. Before that first-up run he made the move to the Mickey Bowen yard. Tougher task this time.

Has returned in fair form. Placed when resuming two starts back in a maiden hurdle (3300m) at Exeter then was beaten 6 lengths into fourth in a maiden hurdle (3800m) at Warwick nearly three weeks ago. Might be harder to beat this time.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 36 lengths into fourth in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at this track. That run was the first for the John & Rhys Flint yard. Looks tested in this line-up.

Has been beaten by some pretty hefty margins lately, most recently in a hurdle (3200m) at Chepstow when 84 lengths from the winner. Prefer in easier.

May pay to overlook the last run when pulled up in a hurdle (4300m) at Ascot and go on the minor placing two back at Doncaster. Worth another chance.

Six-year-old gelding who has been safely held in both runs so far, the latest when 11th hurdle. The extra ground this time may help but prepared to risk until he shows some form.

Has not raced since she failed to complete the course in a point to point (4800m) at Stafford Cross two years ago. Big task ahead.

Was unwanted in betting last time out when beaten 33 lengths into fourth in a hurdle (4000m) at this track. Looks safely held.
