Not far away recently finishing second at Uttoxeter two runs back which was followed with a fifth last start in a hurdle (3200m) at Uttoxeter. Looks a key chance on best and expected to go close.

Five-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Finished off last campaign when seventh in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at this track. Looks safely held in this tougher line-up fresh.

Resuming today after two months. Finished off last campaign 10 of 14 starters at Kempton Park All Weather. May improve.

Was lining up for just the second time when he clocked-in sixth, beaten 12 lengths, in a bumper (3200m) at Worcester back on June 6 at his most recent appearance. Prefer others this time.

Racing for the first time since he finished second in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Huntingdon on May 19. Has since switched to the Dr R D P Newland yard. This looks a nice race to kick off.

Hasn't threatened since resuming from a break. Doesn't shape as a major player in this.

Was unplaced two runs ago in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at this track. Atoned for that run last time when he finished second in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at this track. Could prove hard to beat.
