Was unplaced the start before last in a hurdle (4200m) at Haydock Park then wound up in seventh most recently in a hurdle (4200m) at Warwick. Must be a chance in today's scenario.

Not raced for nine months. Closed off last preparation when seventh in a hurdle (3200m) at Kempton Park, beaten 23 lengths. Capable and looks a top-three chance.

Was out of the money in a steeplechase (3600m) at Fontwell Park two starts ago. Comes here just a week after he atoned for that run with a 7 length win in a hurdle (3700m) at Stratford-On-Avon. All set to continue the strong recent form.

Yet to strike a win this time in and recent form hasn't been up to scratch, last start when safely held in a hurdle at Uttoxeter. Overall strike-rate average and looking to others.

Last appeared nearly three weeks ago when successful in a hurdle (3400m) at this track, getting home by one length. Yet to have his colours lowered at this track so he can keep things going.

Has been easily accounted for in his last few runs, the latest when beaten 9 lengths into seventh over 3400m in a hurdle at this track. Handy when right and is not to be underestimated.

Up to 1028 days without a win and that poor run is likely to continue here. Hard to have in this and would prefer later on.

Maiden galloper who is nearing a win after a close-up third in a hurdle (3400m) at this track last start when well supported. At peak after two runs in and expected to be tough to beat.
