Was disappointing again last time when fifth, beaten 24 lengths, in a hurdle (5200m) at Warwick. Finds a suitable contest and is worth including.

Returned from a spell in a hurdle (4900m) at Haydock Park but failed to finish. Worth another chance and shouldn’t be far away.

Went for a break after finishing fourth in a hurdle (4900m) at Ayr two months ago. Has a strong record when resuming. Should be prominent.

Clocked-in third two runs ago in a hurdle (4600m) at Market Rasen. Repeated the dose more recently when second in a hurdle (4800m) at Ffos Las, beaten 2.5 lengths. Looks very hard to beat.

Resumed from a spell with a disappointing sixth in a hurdle (4900m) at Wincanton. Looks a player on best form. Chance to atone.

Extremely good jumper who has strung together three wins over the obstacles. Added to the tally last time in a steeplechase (5300m) at Sedgefield. The one they have to overcome.

10-year-old gelding who was well held last time when fifth in a hurdle (5400m) at Sedgefield. Looking elsewhere for the winner at this stage.

Ran in a hurdle (4900m) at Ayr last start and was pulled up. Doesn’t make much appeal.

Returns from a 148-day spell. Generally goes well when fresh, with three wins and two placings from six first-up runs. Kicked off last prep with success in a hurdle (4660m) at Hexham. Has ability and worth including.

Has been mixing form, the latest finishing fifth in a hurdle at this track, and has been out of the winners' list for more than a year. Looks tested without significant improvement.

Started favourite last start following a win in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton but found one better in a hurdle (3800m) at Taunton. Hard to beat.
