Returned from a 65- day spell last start and failed to complete the course in a hurdle (4100m) at Plumpton. Nicely-placed to make amends.

Returns from a spell of three months. Last appeared in a hurdle (3200m) at Hereford and did well but found a couple better. Could prove tough to stop.

Did a good job to finish second two back in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton but could only manage fourth in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton last time, arriving 5.5 lengths behind the winner. Only needs to jump well to be right in the finish.

Missed the frame two runs ago in a hurdle (3200m) at Fakenham. Made amends last time when he filled a minor placing in a hurdle (3200m) at Fakenham. Can return to the winner's list.

Not raced for 13 months. Appeared just once last time in and finished ninth in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick, beaten 23 lengths. Must include among the chances.

Failed to finish at the final run last campaign over 3300m at Cheltenham. Prefer to watch first up.

Back to something like his best with a solid third in a hurdle (3200m) at Ludlow last start. That came after he did not finish the race two runs back. Certainly worth including.

Returned from a 105-day layoff last start and finished 13 lengths back in ninth on the flat at Wolverhampton over 2400m. Genuine jumper with two wins and two minor placings from six starts over the obstacles. Makes appeal.

Resumes today after a break of three months. Last appeared when he pulled up in a 3300m steeplechase at this track. Looks hard to beat on his best form.

Competitive in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest finishing second in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Should be ready to fire now. Has the ability and looks set to go close.

Cut last campaign short after three below average performances. Not overly keen on his chances in this.
