Form & Verdict
Dual course winner over fences (3m, good) and ran well from the front when second at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month, after a break; unlikely to be aided by any lingering juice in the ground here but still features prominently in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Won four in a row in February-June last year (2m7f-3m2f, good-heavy); not quite in same form again since but bumped into revitalised opponent when second of four at Southwell (3m2f, good) last month and continues to slip down the weights.

Won comfortably at regular haunt Chepstow (3m6f, good) in March and was probably unlucky not to follow up there (3m2f, good; in front when sprawling on landing at final fence) last month; went up another 5lb after the latter run, though, and may not be quite so effective on this sharper track.

Form & Verdict
Capitulated very quickly when pulled up on final two hurdling starts last season but bounced back to form to win at Warwick (3m1f, good to firm) last month; also has winning form on soft ground; contender if he takes well to fences on today's chasing debut.

His third win over hurdles when a 3l winner over C&D last May (good to firm; won on soft); lost his way a little afterwards but could be better for a break and James Smith takes away a useful 7lb.

Launched chasing career with two fairly respectable runs on soft ground this summer (3m2f/2m7f); needs to take a step forward today but is now 2lb lower than when winning a fast-ground hurdle in May and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpiceces when winning at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in December but had luck on his side there and has looked out of sorts on all three appearances this year, most recently when tried in blinkers last month; cheekpieces back on here.

Won five in a row last year (good-soft), including the 3m6f Highland National at Perth; has been rather quiet in last two races, as he was beaten 21l when third over 3m5f and then was pulled up at Kelso (4m); capable but a bit risky today.

Form & Verdict
Irish-raider; won a point in May and ran about as well as could have been expected when fifth in good-quality hunter chase on rules debut a few days later; however, was pulled up on recent handicap chase debut (wore cheekpieces) and will clearly need to do much better here; now blinkered.
