Form & Verdict
Third four consecutive times since wide-margin win from the front at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in March; gave good account at Fakenham (2m, good) last month, after a break, and ought to be right in the thick of things again here; tongue-tie added.

Safely held at last month's Aintree festival but back in calmer waters here and now back on same mark as for win at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) in December; will be fine over this trip; might be the answer.

10yo who hasn't had much racing for his age and has been progressive this term, with wins at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) and Haydock (2m4f, good to soft); however, below par at Carlisle in February last time and, even if back on song, there's a firm suspicion this will prove too competitive.

Won a Class 4 handicap at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) last month on second chase start and faced tough task when creditable third of four in warm novice contest over C&D (good) last time; this 5yo may have more to offer but others have considerably more substance to their claims.

Scored off reduced mark on chasing debut at Plumpton (2m1f, good) in September and last month's Kempton third (2m2f, good) was very respectable; probably won't be far away.

Ran respectably when third of five over hurdles at regular haunt Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; better known as a chaser these days but he looks weighted near best off this mark and is untried beyond 2m5f; has some work to do back in this sphere.

Came up short last time when bidding for a chase hat-trick; only 1-11 over hurdles and hasn't raced in this sphere for nearly two years but there are positives, namely a lower mark in this sphere and a good overall record (4-8) at Plumpton.

Made virtually all in Huntingdon chase (2m, good) for Tom George in May but often harms his chance by racing too freely and/or making jumping errors; only fourth of five in selling handicap hurdle on recent stable debut; others look safer.

Form & Verdict
Seemingly aided by a wind op when winning a 2m maiden hurdle in the spring and has remained in good form since, most recently when second on his chasing debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; drops back in trip here; ought to make his presence felt again.

Form & Verdict
Keen-goer who often makes the running but was content to race in third before winning in first-time hood at Huntingdon (2m, good) this month, after a layoff; a recent 4lb rise does not look excessive and he remains lightly raced over fences; respected.

Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list.
