Accomplished jumper who was unplaced in a in a hurdle (3400m) at Cartmel two starts back. Improved last time when he saluted in a hurdle (4000m) at Uttoxeter by 3 lengths. Could prove hard to beat.

Is back from a spell of three months. Scored two back at Cartmel before winding up the campaign with a ninth in a hurdle (3400m) at Cartmel. Will take beating.

Clocked-in second last start in a hurdle (3200m) at Worcester. That came after success in a hurdle (3200m) at Worcester by 3.5 lengths. Chance on his best form.

Last raced in a hurdle (3500m) at this track four months ago, finding one better and beaten just 4 lengths in an encouraging effort. Will find this a real test first-up.

Racing for the first time since he finished second in a hurdle (3200m) at Worcester on May 28. Must be considered.

Returns after four months off. Opened the last campaign with a solid third in a steeplechase (3600m) at Kempton Park beaten 14L. Overall first-up record reads well with three wins and three placings from six runs. In the mix.

Returned from a 121-day spell last start with a solid second in a steeplechase (4600m) at Worcester, with today's rider Bryan Carver piloting. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.

Has finishing midfield at his last few starts, the latest when second steeplechase. Place hope only on recent form.

Was pulled up in a hurdle over 3400m at Newton Abbot at the last run before a break. Expected to struggle against these.

First up from a spell today for a new yard and is making his jumps debut. Look for a bold run while fresh.

Is taking on the jumps for a second time after finding a couple better at his first attempt in a hurdle (3500m) at this track nearly four weeks ago, beaten 24 lengths. Can measure up again.

Gelding by St Mark's Basilica out of Chincoteague. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give him this.

Gelding by Sottsass out of Cressida. Likely to be well fancied.

Finished third last time out over 2514m at Limerick three months ago. Having first start over the jumps now. Has switched to the Jennie Candlish yard since the last outing. Can feature with the right run.

Found Salkadan far superior when he made his jumping debut last start in a hurdle (3500m) at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Hard to beat.

Back from a 102-day break. Finished off last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (3700m) at Newton Abbot, beaten one length. Capable and looks a top-three chance.

Finished seventh two back in a hurdle (4000m) at Worcester. Went to the flat more recently and missed again when eighth over 2800m at Goodwood, 44 lengths off the winner. Not sure he is up to this.

Did a good job to clock-in third two back in a hurdle (4300m) at this track. Improved to register a win in a hurdle (3800m) at this track 16 days ago, arriving 2 lengths ahead of his rivals. Should be there at the business end.

Comes here on the back of a last start win in a hurdle (4000m) at Worcester, bouncing back from a poor run two starts back. Can make it back-to-back wins.

Failed to complete the course at his latest appearance in a 4100m hurdle at Southwell then went for a spell. Expect he will struggle.

Finished 13th two back in a hurdle (4600m) at Worcester. Turned things around last time to fill a minor placing in a hurdle (4300m) at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Will thereabouts once more.

Resumed from a spell with a disappointing seventh in a hurdle (4000m) at Worcester. Others rate better so prepared to risk again.
