Form & Verdict
Flat winner (1m6f, AW) who scored over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, good) in March; no impact since but he reappeared with a respectable run on the Flat at Catterick (2m, soft) last month and he's on a workable mark back in this sphere; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
His last four wins have been at Sedgefield (chase/hurdle); remote second in three-runner race at Fakenham last month but was close second over C&D before that and is a big player of he can recapture that form; has won on good to soft but most of his wins have been on good ground.

J: Joe Williamson

T: Philip Kirby

Five-time course winner, most recently in April (2m, good); only fifth of eight over C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago but beaten under 8l, and recent 3lb drop means he's now 3lb below that last winning mark; no surprise if he's in the shake-up.

Form & Verdict
0-10 on the Flat and well held in four hurdle runs but he shaped with some promise in a C&D handicap (four of six) last week and that was after two years off; could be dangerous if he can build on that and he's effective on slow ground.

3-34 on Flat and 1-9 over hurdles; the hurdles win came at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February; placed there and at Worcester (upped to 2m4f, good) on both starts since, having left David Thompson for £21,000 in between and undergone wind surgery; needs a bit extra but has to be considered.

Came good over hurdles for David Thompson with clear success at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February and was placed off today's mark over that C&D (good to soft) the following month; changed hands for £21,000 in May and was given a wind op soon afterwards; goes without cheekpieces on this debut for Dan Skelton and has stamina to prove but should be fine on the forecast faster ground; must be considered.
