Form & Verdict
Bounced back to form and won three consecutive times over hurdles (2m-2m3f, good) for the Tizzard stable this spring and began chasing career with two respectable runs for Syd Hosie this summer; behind Ragamuffin when fourth over C&D on first occasion and no threat to front pair when third at Bangor (2m1f, good) on Monday but still enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up twice in three days (2m6f/2m4f, good) when fitted with cheekpieces in early June but safely held three times since, most recently on Wednesday; will appreciate today's ease in grade, though, and the switch to first-time blinkers might give him a lift.

Form & Verdict
Very useful in his prime; badly lost his way last season but, following a break and a wind op, arrested his decline when close second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance here but he remains very well handicapped.

Won twice on slow ground over hurdles (2m3f/2m4f) towards the end of last year but he has a mixed record since; perked up with a fair third over C&D (good) in June but he failed to back that up at Worcester and others are preferred; cheekpieces reapplied.

At least ran to his mark when 7l third at Market Rasen last time (3m, good), and the winner has completed a hat-trick since; cheekpieces deployed on all eight rules victories are still absent, however.

Form & Verdict
2-6 since switched to chasing this season, the latter win gained over C&D (good) last month; battled gamely after a last-fence jumping error that day and could still have more to offer over fences but he was a shade disappointing when beaten in a match at Fontwell on Thursday.

His last three wins have been over fences but he's a four-time hurdle winner who can deal with this mark if ready to go after his absence; seems fine on all ground.

Seemingly back in good form when second at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in August but didn't fire at Sedgefield last month and he's probably best suited by good ground (albeit has won on heavy).

Form & Verdict
Won two three-runner chases last year (one over C&D) and was seemingly back in form when clear second at Stratford (2m6f, good) in May; hasn't fired on either subsequent outing but, in his defence, the drop back to 2m may not have been ideal for him last time; 1lb out of the weights today.
