Form & Verdict
0-4 over fences and has a point to prove after last month's duff effort at Downpatrick but is now 2lb lower than when second over 2m here (good; first-time blinkers) in July and will be fine over today's longer trip.

One of two runners for Gordon Elliott and Carl Millar claims a valuable 7lb; three time chase winner with last victory coming in June 2023; disappointing last time at Tipperary but the return to a right handed track offers hope; chase form figures of 4FF8 going left handed compared to 2612P101 going to the right; wears usual headgear and tongue tie.

Form & Verdict
Failed to win over hurdles but has very good 4-7 strike-rate over fences, the latest win gained here (3m, good to soft) a year ago; may still have more improvement to come but has been on the sidelines since a mishap last October and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal.

Far from solid based on this season's chase form; returns to hurdles off a much lower mark and has scored twice here over fences, so could be dangerous if he's on song; 0-9 in this sphere.

Two small-field wins (2m4f/3m1f) over fences last year but he's struggled in last four runs including when pulled up at Perth in June; with new yard now and he needs to turn things around after a short break; visor reapplied.

Veteran who gained four of his 14 wins here (one over C&D); ran much better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest on slower-than-ideal ground at Cartmel (2m1f good to soft) a fortnight ago; worth a second look here, even from 4lb out of the weights.

Returned to form at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) on Wednesday, when he was reeled in after blasting off in front but kept on gamely for second; also suited by this C&D and a recent 2lb drop has now taken effect but he had a hard race at Perth and has become inconsistent.

Veteran; 12-94, four of those wins coming at his beloved Perth; showed up well for much of the contest at Hexham (2m, soft; third, beaten 33l) on Saturday evening, before tiring markedly on the uphill climb; the better ground is in his favour here but this is a quick turnaround.
