Finished seventh two runs back in a maiden hurdle (3900m) at Hereford then he failed to finish the race in a hurdle (3200m) at Ffos Las last start. Looks to have the job ahead.

Unwanted in betting in both runs back from a break, and he has performed accordingly. Looks safely held on recent form.

Resumed from a spell with a disappointing tenth in a maiden hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton. Fitter but hard to have here on the return run. Looking to others.

Been close at both his two starts in this time, the latest when second in a point to point (4800m) at Cornwall P2p. Rates strongly and can find winning form.

In the money two runs back in a maiden hurdle (3300m) at Exeter. Repeated the dose more recently when second in a hurdle (3200m) at Ffos Las, beaten 6 lengths. Ideally placed return to winning form.

Returns after a break for a new stable. Has been out of the winner's list for a while. May well prove too smart for these first up.

Returns from the paddock today. Finished off last preparation 2 of 7 starters at Kempton Park All Weather February 11 over 3200m, behind Further Measure carrying 60.5kg at $4. Market is the best guide.

Out-of-form mare who has been well beaten in both runs back from a spell. Expect losing streak to continue.

Racing third-up. She has been easily accounted for in each of her three career starts. Not doing enough to be considered.

Was first up from a 103- day spell last start and eased out of the race in a maiden hurdle (4300m) at Newton Abbot. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Defied the market last time when third in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Among the better hopes.

14-start maiden who was sent out at long odds last start and finished fourth in a hurdle (3300m) at Taunton. Struggling to break through and.

Filled a minor prize two back in a maiden hurdle (3800m) at Taunton then could only manage sixth last time in a hurdle (3200m) at Huntingdon, beaten 31 lengths. Ideally placed to return to form.

One of the genuine hopes in the race.
