Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 7yo who opened account for Warren Greatrex with front-running success in Ffos Las handicap (2m3f, soft) last April; changed hands for £82,000 the following month and now makes his stable/hunter chase debut; could be hard to beat if fully tuned up.

Progressive in handicap chases last spring for Warren Greatrex (2m2f/2m3f, good/soft) and last month's third on stable debut in a hunter chase at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft), after an absence, can be upgraded as he hung left at that right-handed track; has plenty to find but this 7yo is very lightly raced and, now going left-handed, could go well at sizeable odds.

Still early days over fences and under rules; returning from a wind operation when runner-up at Fontwell (2m2f, good) and he stays this longer trip; in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish 10yo who was quite useful in his prime; won a soft-ground point in the autumn but pulled up in two good-quality hunter chases since; this race is easier but he probably still needs to have been perked up by recent stable switch.

Form & Verdict
Won by wide-margin at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last spring and ran big race when second to once-smart rival at Fakenham (3m, soft) last month; it's quite tricky to weigh up what that recent piece of form is worth but, nevertheless, she's respected here.

125-1 and never a factor at Aintree last time; won't find it as hard to adopt her preferred position at or near the early speed here, but barely stays 3m (sole win at that trip came at Askham Bryan's very sharp circuit) and has further still to go here.

Easily won a maiden hunter chase at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last May; didn't run badly at Fakenham (3m, soft) in February but well beaten at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) since and she would be a shock winner.
