Form & Verdict
Back-to-back wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good/good to soft) last spring and good second there (2m1f, good) in November; below-par fifth next time was only 11 days later and perhaps came too soon; course winner who should hold every chance back from break in first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces).

Spell over fences featured two wins last June; unable to take advantage of drop to selling level back over hurdles last time but won this contest off 5lb higher 12 months ago (admittedly beat only two rivals) and has a fighting chance provided he's back in similar form.

A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser at his best but his form has nosedived and he jumped poorly when last of six in 2m4f handicap chase at Leicester in December; back from a break now and needs it to spark a resurgence.

T: James Owen

Front-runner who won two Uttoxeter chases in June (2m5f/2m4f) and returned from 12-week break with pretty good second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) this month; remains on career-high mark but ought to make his presence felt again.

Form & Verdict
Similar sort of form in his last three races with the cheekpieces reapplied; might just be on a tough mark now as latest winner at Wincanton beat him handsomely (2m5f, good).

Has the form to feature off this mark but in two runs for this yard he's been tailed off over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut.

J: Oscar Palmer

T: Barry Brennan

Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut.

Form & Verdict
Good-ground Flat winner who is improving over hurdles; won easily here on soft and did well to follow up in a steadily run race at Sandown (again 2m; good to soft); he's now 2-2 in the hood and probably still on a fair mark despite latest 5lb rise; the step up in trip is the grey area.

2-5 over hurdles, the latter win gained on handicap debut at Sandown (2m, good to soft) in March; may still have more to offer but some of the others here have stronger form.

Unexposed on the Flat and he scored on handicap debut when winning the Student Derby at Curragh (1m2f, good) for Andrew Slattery just under a year ago; largely campaigned over hurdles for this yard and he won at Plumpton (soft) and Sandown (also 2m, good to soft) in February/March under Conor O'Farrell; turned over at odds-on in a three-runner Plumpton handicap when last seen in April but far from ruled out on this Flat return.
