Form & Verdict
Landed a sixth win on Tapeta when making it 2-4 over this trip off 4lb lower last time; little room for manoeuvre off his revised mark and is currently 0-9 on Polytrack but he's reliable and should go well again under Oisin Murphy.

Eight-time AW winner, including thrice at Southwell; close third in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle last weekend when returned to this sphere; back up 2lb but takes a drop back in grade; solid chance.

Form & Verdict
Last two wins have come in the autumn, including back from a layoff on his hurdling debut last November, so the four-month break isn't an offputter; Rossa Ryan knows him well but he needs a career-best effort off this mark on just his second AW start.

Flopped badly when favourite at Hexham last month and needs to put that behind him but looked in good nick when making all for clearcut success at Hereford (3m1f, good) two runs ago; dangerous if back at that level.

Has improved with each run since returning from a break and stepping up in trip, with cheekpieces added to a tongue-tie; made all at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month and a 6lb rise looks manageable; leading contender.

He's returned from a break in good heart this year, finishing fourth at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) before getting closer to the target when 3l third at Southwell (3m, good); entitled to respect.

Pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (off tonight) and paid for it late when well behind Sax Appeal on Tapeta last time; back to a mark just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D in July and should fare better.

1-20 under rules and hasn't set the world alight since joining this yard; didn't settle when fifth of nine over C&D eight days ago and probably best watched despite a 4lb drop.

Sole success came in a Kempton AW handicap in July last year when trained by Tom Ward; had an unsuccessful stint over hurdles this year for current yard, and well held in a couple of 2m handicaps since; drops back in trip on AW return and best watched for now.

Winless since March 2023 and isn't as good now; handicapped accordingly, though, and will be happier back on the AW having shown more from a wide stall at Chester last time; still capable.

Dry since a C&D win off 12lb higher early last year and will need to put a couple of below-par efforts behind him; the return to Polytrack will help, though, and he can never be ruled out round here.
