Broke his duck over hurdles after a few near misses and made a winning start to fences at Perth (3m) on his return from a break last month, albeit narrowly with the second making a costly error at the last; lacked fluency there but kept on well and, although a 6lb higher mark asks a question, another bold bid can be expected.

Runner-up four times over hurdles prior to getting off the mark in a tight finish here (3m, good; 13-8 favourite, added tongue-tie) last September; off since and set to make chasing debut but there's no reason why he shouldn't take to fences; merits respect.

0-18 under rules; just failed at Kelso (3m, good; beaten a neck) last October, but has had issues since, twice pulling up at Newcastle (bled from the nose on both occasions), and beaten 83l at Perth (3m) over three weeks ago; best watched.

Ex-Irish pointer; good second in a Kelso novice handicap chase (2m7f, good) last autumn but has pulled up on his two outings since (reportedly bled latest); something to prove.

J: Charlie Hammond

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Knuckled down to get the better of the favourite in a tight finish here (2m6f, good; 7-2) a fortnight ago; that was his first win since his bumper days, so a nominal 3lb rise seems fair; dropping back in trip is unlikely to pose too much of a problem.

Sole win came over C&D last year off 3lb lower; was hit and miss since but can improve from recent comeback at Cartmel when beaten 15l; a player.

Had a below-par Defence Witness behind when a C&D third off today's mark last June, and belatedly off the mark next time out back in Ireland; can go well after a break without necessarily being able to threaten a win.

0-20 over hurdles but won here (3m, soft) on chase debut last October; three major backward steps this spring prompt caution on this return to hurdling, with cheekpieces (tried often as hurdler last year) reinstated.

0-20 hurdles but made winning chasing debut over C&D (soft; 7-2, from 2lb lower) last October; well beaten on both subsequent starts, dropping out tamely once headed, finishing well behind Sir Carnegie over C&D three weeks ago; needs to rediscover a spark.

Defying Gravity

10st 2lb

J: William Maggs

T: Andrew Hamilton

Lightly raced 6yo; in this new headgear combination when a late mistake (and some wandering) cost him a 3m chase at Perth and again he showed some quirks when ducking right and unseating at the first fence at Kelso on Sunday; capable of having a say on this return to hurdling but comes with an element of risk.

J: William Maggs

Lightly raced 6yo who advanced his form on his chasing debut (in a first-time hood) when a short-head second of eight in 3m handicap at Perth 11 days ago, looking probable winner until blundered last; up 6lb but merits serious consideration in retained headgear.
