0-5 on the Flat but was third on both starts this season, latterly at Sandown (1m6f; RPR 76) in June; has no stamina concerns here and his trainer is a dab hand with juvenile hurdlers.

2-4 over hurdles, 0-8 on the Flat but has been consistent in handicaps; has been nudged up another 1lb for last month's third, however, and he'll need to find a bit more from somewhere.

Dual hurdle winner, on good and soft ground; has figures of 3323 in Flat handicaps (1m3f-2m) and his mark hasn't really gone anywhere; off since May so some confidence behind him would be welcomed.

Consistent on the Flat (albeit without winning) for Joseph Parr this year, and twice recorded RPRs in the 80s over 1m4f last month (both times on good ground); still with same owner for jumping career; interesting to see what Gary Moore can do with him.

Form & Verdict
Won on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger in June (1m2f; RPR 76) but his British Flat debut in August was very disappointing and he made a low-key start to his hurdling career when well-held fourth at Plumpton (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; comes here with quite a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Fair Flat-racer who took well to hurdling in the summer, winning on good ground at Uttoxeter and Worcester; looks vulnerable under his 10lb penalty here but his proven ability over jumps counts for a lot; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Ran well for a long way when making the frame in two Stratford juvenile hurdles in July (both 2m, good; behind Rolypolymoly on first occasion) but almost certainly needs to improve to win here; had wind op last month.
