Form & Verdict
3-14 over hurdles, the latest win gained over C&D (good) in October; returned from seven-month absence with very respectable third in June and will pose a potent threat if that run has brought her on; suited by good/good to soft ground; may not want genuine soft ground.

Form & Verdict
In good form this season, most notably when opening hurdling account at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May; went up another 2lb after his close second at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) 19 days ago but is a likely contender again here; probably best suited by good/good to firm ground but won on soft on the Flat.

Seven-time hurdle winner who was useful on good ground in his prime; launched chasing career with two very respectable runs here (2m1f/2m5f) in May and was not disgraced in competitive 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Saturday (albeit finishing behind Sea The Clouds); could have a say.

Dual chase winner on good ground last summer; well beaten in a recent Flat maiden, after a layoff, but is probably on a workable mark for today's hurdling return; could have a say if the ground is no worse than good to soft.

Form & Verdict
Has some fairly useful Flat form on his CV but won only once in that sphere and is 0-5 over hurdles; second in two Worcester maidens in June (both 2m, good) but the form isn't anything to get excited about and he has a lot more on his plate here; 2lb out of the weights; rain a likely negative.
