Form & Verdict
Without a hurdling win since taking this race for Richard Newland in 2020 and not one to rely upon heavily, but ran well when placed in two 2m Uttoxeter handicaps this month (good to soft/good) and must be considered.

Two C&D wins among multiple successes, the latest over hurdles last May; ran well for a long way over C&D in April on return from another break, and a good run looks more likely from him than some.

Form & Verdict
Won small-field Market Rasen novice (2m, good) on stable debut in August and ran fairly well on both subsequent appearances, albeit he had weakened out of contention before last-flight fall in Southwell handicap last month; looks the one to beat here.

Seemingly in process of running well before sprawling on landing at third-last flight at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in June but was pulled up off his lowly handicap mark a few days later and doesn't appear to have much going for him here; returns from break with hood fitted.

Form & Verdict
Won Fakenham handicap (2m4f, good) for Dan Skelton in May and bettered disappointing stable debut when respectable fourth over that C&D this month; not sure to be suited by this return to a right-handed track (hung left when beaten in a match here in spring) but still a likely contender.
