Finished eighth two back in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at this track then again missed out in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Worcester last start. Right in the mix if anywhere near his best.

Back from a 102-day break. Had just one run last campaign and was seventh in a hurdle (3900m) at Carlisle, beaten 26 lengths. Sure to make presence felt.

Was 14 lengths away in second last time out in a hurdle (4425m) at Downpatrick, proving no match for the dominant Joya Del Mar. Leading contender.

Hit the frame last time in a hurdle (3200m) at Hexham. In-form jockey to ride. Key chance on best form and looks poised to feature.

Five-year-old gelding who punters have shunned in recent runs, and has performed accordingly. Looks tested again this line-up.

Finished tenth two back in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Kilbeggan then again missed out in a maiden hurdle (3118m) at Kilbeggan last time. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Some runs recently have had some merit. Seemed to appreciate stepping up in journey last time when finished fourth in a hurdle (4900m) at Southwell. Capable and looks an each way chance this line-up.

Put the writing on the wall latest with a much better run, hitting the frame in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Should be prominent throughout. Can open winning account this time.

Back to something like his best with a solid second in a hurdle (3200m) at Hexham last start. That came after he two runs ago. Sure to prove hard to beat.

She has been easily accounted for in each of her nine career starts. The drop in distance may help but hard to have on what she's shown so far.

Seven-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Wound up last campaign with a 12th in a hurdle (4800m) at Musselburgh. Resuming in tougher. Rates a place hope only on run before a spell.
