Finished fourth the start before last in a hurdle (3400m) at Carlisle then finished seventh most recently in a hurdle (4200m) at Kelso. Must be a chance in today's scenario.

Fluctuating fortunes of late. Two starts back found a couple better in a hurdle (3200m) at Sandown Park. Not such a happy tale at the latest run when he in a hurdle (3800m) at Haydock Park. No surprise to see him back in form today.

Resumes off a four months break. Well held at both runs last campaign, finishing off with a tenth at Huntingdon. Hard to recommend in this line-up.

Scored a nice win 37 days back in a hurdle (3400m) at Carlisle. That result came as no surprise after a solid second in a hurdle (3200m) at Ayr. All set to continue the strong recent form.

Winner of his last two starts, scoring in a hurdle (3300m) at Newbury last time by 0.8 lengths. Expected to be prominent throughout. Can make it three straight.

Competitive in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest finishing fourth in a hurdle (3400m) at Newcastle. Should be at top now. Rates an each way chance again.

Returned from a 109-day spell last start with a moderate sixth on the flat at Newcastle All Weather over 2500m, beaten 8 lengths. Genuine jumper with three wins and four minor placings from 13 starts over the obstacles.

Has been beaten a combined 46L in two starts this campaign. Hard to recommend.

Nine-year-old who was comfortably held at only run last time in. Safely held when resuming in a hurdle at Haydock Park, finishing sixth and beaten 22 lengths. Will be much improved on the run and can find best form.

Finished sixth two runs ago in a hurdle (3900m) at Wetherby. Did a better job last time when he scored in a hurdle (3300m) at Doncaster. Can add to the recent impressive result.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (4800m) at Musselburgh then wound up in 11th most recently in a hurdle (3400m) at Carlisle. Won't find this easy.

Not raced for three months. Closed off last preparation when fourth in a maiden hurdle (4000m) at Musselburgh, beaten 28 lengths. This looks tough and others preferred.
