Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 8 lengths into fourth in a hurdle (3100m) at Haydock Park. Key runner who is expected to feature.

Last start was in a hurdle (3200m) at Perth when eased out of the race. Hard to make a decent case.

Very good off a break in a hurdle (3700m) at Stratford-On-Avon when resuming. Placed second up previously and appears capable of at least doing the same following his latest outing. Key chance in this line-up.

Did well to finish third two back in a steeplechase (3900m) at Stratford-On-Avon but could only manage sixth in a steeplechase (3200m) at Warwick last time, arriving 16 lengths behind the winner. Hard to fault on her best jumps form.

Yet to land a glove in two runs this campaign. Returned with a eighth in a flat race at Wolverhampton then was 21 lengths off the winner in a hurdle (3200m) at Warwick nearly three weeks ago. Looking to others.

Nine-year-old mare who returns from a break. Wound up last campaign with a sixth in a hurdle (4200m) at Ludlow. Tougher class here fresh and not expected to threaten this line-up.

Wasn't far from the placegetters when resuming from a 371-day layoff on the flat last start eaten 2L fourth at Wolverhampton over 2800m. Honest jumper with two wins and six minor placings from 13 starts over the obstacles. Warrants thought.
