Form & Verdict
In good form over fences for Nicky Henderson since fitted with cheekpieces this season, winning twice over 2m4f (once here); changed hands for £18,000 last month; further progress is possible if the step up in trip suits on today's stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Generally very disappointing since winning over hurdles in Ireland in June 2021, and is yet to convince over fences; joined new trainer after midfield finish in Roscommon claiming hurdle in July; goes beyond about 2m5f for first time on today's stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Six-time chase winner, most recently when finishing well to lead close home at Perth (3m, good) last month; it might be wise to treat the form with a degree of caution but he's only 1lb higher here today and is very well suited by this track.

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
Not firing on all cylinders this season but rewarded persistent Sean Bowen ride when staying on well to exploit much reduced mark at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) 12 days ago; still very well handicapped on some of last year's form but would appeal more on slower ground.
