Form & Verdict
Won his sole bumper and has form figures of 1221 over hurdles; his latest win was at odds-on in a Ludlow novice (2m, good) in June but battled well to hold off a late challenger and should have more to offer in handicaps this season; respected back up in trip after another break.

Form & Verdict
Easy winner of a Ffos Las novice (2m4f, heavy) last February but he's not really kicked on from that and was well below form in an Exeter handicap in his final run last season; bit to prove after 227 days off and he needs more improvement.

Acts well on testing surfaces and stayed further over hurdles but seemingly ran out of options from handicapping point of view; lacks public experience of fences and probably needs to improve for them.

Easy winner of 2m4f novice at Fontwell (heavy) in February 2021; 0-6 since but runner-up in four of those, including on both this term; moves up in trip, having seen the 2m6f out well on soft ground on latest outing; improvement needed.

Form & Verdict
Has a mixed record in his 11 starts but he recorded his second hurdle win when landing a 14-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) on his return last month; up 6lb but he raised his form to a new level with that stylish win and he's a big player again if he can back that up.

Won here (2m5f, good) in 2022 and returns here after three good efforts this spring (2m4f-3m1f, good); still on a workable mark and enters calculations; seems best on good ground but handles good to soft.

Form & Verdict
8yo who ended a long losing run when making all at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; favourite) in April; that was a very narrow success but he remains well treated on his old form and has won when fresh in the past; key player.

Grand servant to the yard with five wins in this sphere, the latest at Ascot (2m5f, soft) in December off 2lb lower; well held since and it's hard to see him being able to give weight away to these younger rivals.

Veteran who is usually ridden these days by Elliott England, including for a 2m5f Ludlow win last February and a C&D win (4lb higher today) in December; 33-1 when tailed off at Kempton five weeks ago but no shock if he surges back to form today in search of his third C&D win.

Veteran who goes well for Elliott England, gaining his second success for this rider in conditionals' event at Ascot (2m5f, soft) in December; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he'll need more off 5lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Dual Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles when forging clear in a maiden at Market Rasen (2m, soft) in February; held in both subsequent runs last season but his latest second was behind a hotpot at Perth and this is a more suitable on his handicap hurdle debut; in the mix.

Multiple winner, mostly at about 2m and is 1lb higher than when scoring over C&D in March; matched that effort back here next time, before a below-par effort on soft at Haydock latest; will be a player if bouncing back.

Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence.

Form & Verdict
Made a good start over hurdles when winning a Stratford maiden (2m6f, soft) last May but he's failed to build on that in only two runs since, including a fall in a Newton Abbot handicap on his comeback last month; still early days in this sphere but he has some questions to answer; hood reapplied.

Ran quite well from the front when fourth at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in December but this regressive 8yo is yet to add to his maiden hurdle win in spring 2021 and is not the percentage call; 1lb out of the handicap.
