On old form he's well handicapped but he couldn't win last season despite running well on occasions and he's probably vulnerable once more.

Form & Verdict
Mistake at the wrong time cost him third to Bold Plan at Cheltenham in April and it was a similar story when a beaten favourite on his chase debut at Cartmel in June; had wind surgery since; produced his best RPR yet when second in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Aintree in between those runs and he's only 1llb higher for this.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Nicky Henderson

Good ground suits but he's not the easiest to predict at the best of times and has run badly in all three races since his chase win at Aintree (3m1f, good) last May; had a second wind operation before penultimate start and was back hurdling for latest; well treated on best form but the chances of his reproducing it seem to be receding.

Form & Verdict
Ran well for a long way in the Grand National when last seen, finishing a highly credible fifth; nothing wrong with this mark on his return to hurdling but his early-season target is this month's big staying chase at Newbury, so this run will probably bring him on.

J: Robert Dunne

T: Jim Boyle

Similar type to Millers Bank, being a Grade 1 winner (over hurdles in 2020 for previous yard); achieved nothing at Exeter (3m) last month on debut for new stable and return from lengthy absence; needs to prove he retains ability but market support should be noted.

Smart hurdler/chaser for the Tizzard stable and makes debut for Jim Boyle from a tempting mark, but we haven't seen him since a disappointing run in 2022 Coral Gold Cup and he's tricky to weigh up at present.

11st 9lb

J: Brendan Powell

T: Joe Tizzard

One of several runners who warmed up for this prize with a recent spin over hurdles; very useful chaser who is largely consistent and went down by only half a length (off 5lb lower; clear of remainder) in this race 12 months ago; cheekpieces now added; should go well again.

Form & Verdict
Twice ran well over C&D last season (on good ground) when sent back over hurdles and he seemed stretched by the 2m7f at Market Rasen the final time; seriously considered off a fair mark and one suspects there's a bit more to come from him.

Winning chaser who rediscovered his best form last season to complete a hat-trick over hurdles (2m4f) in the hands of Isabel Williams; remains a very realistic mark but his record first time back is a cause for concern.

Hat-trick of wins in early 2022, the middle leg in this race (soft; subsequent Cheltenham win on good); hasn't been in the same form this winter but he ran more promisingly than the distance beaten suggests at Uttoxeter recently and is now only just above his latest winning mark; respected.

Form & Verdict
Had a very solid last season and this C&D on good ground saw him to good effect when a decisive winner in April (Jay Bee Why third but now 9lb better off); went up 7lb for that and it was a factor in his defeat at Aintree; not on the best of terms with a few of these on previous clashes.

Beat a next-time-out winner to open chasing account at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) two starts ago and remains lightly raced over fences but didn't fire last time and is seemingly not one to rely upon heavily.

On fire when signing off 2021 with a hat-trick in handicap hurdles, the latest off this very mark; made a belated return to fences last time at Taunton (2m7f) and ran okay despite a 21l defeat; this stiffer test should be in his favour.
