6yo who has improved markedly since switched to fences and made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) in August; winning sequence ended just five days later, when the race may have come too soon, but he's had a break since and could bounce back; respected.

T: Anthony Honeyball

6yo who has been a big improver since switched to fences and he made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and he's unbeaten in three chase runs at at Newton Abbot; strong contender.

T: Anthony Honeyball

Hat-trick (2m-extended 2m3f) before the break included two C&D wins in July, latest when scoring convincingly off an 8lb lower mark and the runner-up has run well since; this mark demands more but he's thriving and a bold bid can be expected for the four-timer.

6 yo Mare

OR: 86

Form & Verdict
Maiden who is not living up to her pedigree but seemed to enjoy front-running role and ran best race yet when clear second of ten in Worcester handicap chase (2m, good) 12 days ago; must be considered after that effort.

Miss Denver

10st 5lb

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

0-10 but consistent this year, finishing runner-up on her last three starts; tends to jump out to the right which won't help her around here but profile suggests that she won't be far away.

Hasn't lived up to her excellent jumping pedigree and she's now 0-9 after finishing a well-held second at Newton Abbot; can jump to the right so this track should suit better, but she's not overly convincing.

Form & Verdict
Made all in mares' maiden hurdle here (2m1f, good) last summer and came second on her next three appearances; absent since October but her 12lb weight-for-age allowance will be handy on this chasing debut.

Keen-going front-runner who has made the frame on all six hurdling starts, most notably when winning by 8l at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in August; has her limitations but can cope if the ground is good to soft here (untested on anything slower) and ought to make another bold bid.
