Failed to finish at the final run last campaign over 5750m at this track. Expected to struggle against these.

Last start ran in a steeplechase (4780m) at Ascot but was eased out of it. Capable enough and cannot be discounted lightly.

Accomplished jumper who was unplaced in a steeplechase (5500m) at Market Rasen two starts back. Turned things around and scored by 2.25 lengths in a steeplechase (4900m) at Carlisle most recently. Might prove hard to beat.

Did a good job to finish third two back in a steeplechase (5800m) at Lingfield but could only manage sixth in a steeplechase (4800m) at Ascot last time, arriving 31 lengths behind the winner. All set to reverse the recent form.

The run before last. Atoned for that run last time when he got the cash in a steeplechase (4800m) at Ludlow. Can add to the recent impressive result.

Back from a 68-day spell. Just the one appearance when last in work and was winner in a steeplechase (4500m) at Newbury, scoring by a nose. Reliable jumper with a good strike-rate. Could be tough to beat.

Nine-year-old gelding who is back from a break. Wound up last campaign with a 11th in a steeplechase (5000m) at Cheltenham. Resuming in tougher grade. Needs to find best to be competitive here.

Finished seventh two back in a steeplechase (4000m) at Uttoxeter. Atoned for that run last time to grab third in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newbury, beaten 20 lengths. Must be a chance again.

Generally a reliable performer but was below par last time when 12th in a 5700m steeplechase at Windsor. Solid chance on his best figures.
