A five-time chase winner, he has adapted well since returning to hurdles in cheekpieces, making all at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June and Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month (fell when holding a clear advantage in between); has a big penalty but will be difficult to keep tabs on.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner last month, on third start over fences (and just five days after the second): couldn't confirm the form with the runner-up at Stratford on Saturday but still ran creditably; should figure if running again.

Form & Verdict
Perth winner in July (2m) and probably ran at least at well when runner-up at Stratford (2m1f) last month (best work late on); previous attempts at this sort of trip have yielded little but definitely worth another go at it, though being 7lb out of the handicap is no help.

Ran big race in defeat over fences at Warwick (2m, good) in April, after a layoff, and his subsequent fifth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) certainly wasn't a bad effort; recent 4lb drop seems generous; one to consider.

Dual chase winner who returned from an absence with a close, front-running second over fences at Worcester (2m, good) last month; 0-8 over hurdles but that last run was off 7lb higher and he's an interesting contender back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Put up a bold display from the front on stable/chasing debut at Cartmel nine days ago, eventually finishing third (3m1f); that gives something to build on but he's 12lb out of the handicap, which makes his task harder.

Ended last season with two hard-fought wins at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when well-held fourth at Bangor (3m, good) in June but current mark demands a career-best performance and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal.

Thriving over Sedgefield's extended 3m2f latterly, needing every yard of it last time (good) in order to complete a double; new career-high mark asks a question, and the return to 3m isn't certain to suit.
