Form & Verdict
Didn't hang about over hurdles and all three chase runs have been here over 3m1f (in cheekpieces); won the first two easily enough, but it was hard work from a long way out when runner-up four weeks ago; handicapper showed no mercy with a 1lb nudge, but perhaps a visor can help him and he should stay this far.

Has a good record over fences at Plumpton and returns to this venue off an attractive mark; however, he's 0-7 over hurdles and needs to step up sharply on Fontwell reappearance effort (beaten 35l).

Form & Verdict
Had struggled over hurdles and he was tailed off on his handicap/chase debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft), but the good ground and longer trip of 3m3f made all the difference when grinding it out at Stratford in April; 5lb higher now but this sort of race clearly plays to his strengths.

Form & Verdict
Five-time winner over hurdles, but out of form in that discipline earlier this year and Chepstow three weeks ago wasn't the first time that he's failed to convince as a chaser.

Well treated on last season's best hurdle form but after pulling up over fences he finished a long way behind in 3m1f handicap hurdle at Catterick (heavy); probably needs this good ground but others have fewer risks.

Pulled up over fences at Huntingdon on Boxing Day and reverts to hurdles on a higher mark; however, he was a fair third of four in a chase at Plumpton two starts ago and is well treated on last season's best hurdle form; the first-time visor may be a help and he's not written off.

Form & Verdict
Five-time winner over fences and a thorough stayer; runner-up over 2m7f and 3m1f during the summer and even those trips were on the sharp side for him; this is a better fit, but he can be inconsistent.

Pulled up in his two starts (heavy/soft; visored both times) since an absence of just over two years; old form suggests this better ground will suit but it still requires a leap of faith to support him in the added tongue-tie.
