Form & Verdict
Belied 66-1 odds and made quite promising hurdle debut when keeping-on fifth over C&D (soft) in January but was well beaten when upped to 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good to soft) in March and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.

Third at Carlisle (good) in his second bumper and about 9l fifth of 12 at Fontwell (2m3f, soft; 66-1) on hurdling debut in January also showed significant ability; much more is needed to upset the best of these, however.

£40,000 3yo whose dam is from a talented family; 40-1, pulled hard and soundly beaten when tenth of 11 on debut at Newbury (2m, good) in March; however, the form of that valuable race has worked out well and he could be a different proposition today for his respected stable.

Form & Verdict
Returned from break with respectable fourth on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month but that form leaves her with a bit to find here and she needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run 12 days ago.

Low-mileage 5yo who returned from six months off with a solid fourth of nine on her handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f) 20 days ago; she can do better off a 2lb lower mark.

Finding her feet over hurdles and October's third at Hereford (2m, good) when last seen was quite encouraging; pedigree suggests this new trip can unlock more and she's one to be interested in on this handicap debut despite the absence.

Displayed promise in two bumpers in the autumn but was remote when fourth here (2m5f, good to soft) on last month's hurdle debut and needs to take a big step forward today.

Showed a bit when midfield in a couple of bumpers but not enough to suggest she's likely to make a winning start over hurdles after five months off.
