Form & Verdict
Twice a winner over hurdles in these colours for Olly Murphy and plenty of good efforts in defeat off higher marks; pulled up over fences on sole start for Paul Nicholls; could be dangerous if as good as he was and new trainer Harry Derham can get them fit at home; interesting.

Won well on seasonal return at Chepstow in October off 128 and 1lb lower now but he's suffered heavy defeats on his four starts since that success; leap of faith required to back him here.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner with a good strike-rate; better known as a chaser these days but ran a solid race back over hurdles when second to a progressive one at Newton Abbot three weeks ago (2m5f, good), albeit in a slowly run affair; current mark is no gift but he has a lot less to prove than most of his rivals.

12yo who isn't as good as he was but he's handicapped accordingly and stayed on for a promising sixth at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in November on his second start back from a long absence; suited by the step back up to 2m7f when 1l third at Chepstow (soft) last month and could be bang there once more.
