Form & Verdict
His last three wins have come here, the latest in July (2m4f, soft), and he went close here (2m4f, good) last month; fair fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good) last week; drops back down to 2m but could be in the mix now back here.

11yo whose losing sequence is up to 18 races and his form has been mixed this season; however, there have been some bright performances this term; he might not be far away off another career-low mark if he's on a going day.

Veteran who sometimes builds up a big lead and is a ten-time hurdle winner; placed a few times this season (once over C&D) and ran well for a long way at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month but others appeal more all the same.

Form & Verdict
Only fifth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month on first start since wind op but it wasn't a bad run and he continues to drop down the weights; this headstrong sort may be suited by the drop back to 2m and he's a possible.

Form & Verdict
10yo who returned to form when easily winning three-runner handicap chase here (2m, soft) in July last time out; the strength of that performance is open to question but he won in July 2021 (2m4f, good) when he last tackled hurdles and is entitled to respect.

Comfortably won three-runner chase at Perth in July, his sixth start over fences, and was very respectable third when back over hurdles there (also 2m, soft) last month, but some of his younger rivals look more interesting here.

Form & Verdict
It remains to be seen how he'll be suited by the drop back in trip having been placed over 3m here (soft/good) on his last three starts, but the fact he arrives in good form is certainly a plus and he's not discounted.

Headed close home (Castel Gandolfo third) in this race last year; doesn't arrive in anywhere near the same kind of form this time around after finishing tailed off (beaten 50l) over 2m4f here last month; easing mark isn't enough to make a viable threat.

Four course wins (all over 2m); lacked the pace to challenge when third over that trip here (good; 4-1) early last month; finished down the field back on the Flat (1m2f) since; stablemate Follow Charlie has more to recommend.

Form & Verdict
Regressive on the Flat and not overly convincing over hurdles in the spring, when he jumped to the right and/or failed to settle; however, this 4yo wasn't without promise and he makes his handicap hurdle debut after a wind op, for a trainer who does well here; no surprise to see a good run.
