Form & Verdict
Won on good to firm/soft/heavy; big penalty for winning novices either side of Sandown handicap success and has already taken advantage of Freddie Gingell's claim once but he could well improve further for the step up in trip; good chance of making it four.

Five-time hurdle winner who came good over fences at third attempt, keeping on well for 3l success at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in April; not yet fully exposed over this sort of trip; likely contender.

Form & Verdict
Good start to career behind a talented one in sole Irish point and has potential over hurdles, having run up against useful Nicholls novices in both starts since layoff, keeping on pleasingly after making most at Taunton in December (2m3f, good to soft); has a big run in him.

Became rather disappointing after winning over 2m4f here 13 months ago but got himself firmly back on track when making most of the running at Exeter (3m, good) and battling on best; a 3lb rise is no hardship; chance.

Took advantage of a reduced mark when winning a 2m3f Huntingdon handicap last month (good to soft) but is relatively exposed and has work to do back in a novice.

Beaten favourite in three bumpers but fared better on 2m4f hurdle debut at Plumpton (soft) when looking beaten a fair way out but sticking on well to take third; needs to improve for this likely less testing ground.

Impressive in a point bumper (good to soft); ran well for a long way on Carlisle hurdle debut in October (2m4f, heavy), pulled up between the last two when pursuit was hopeless; this less testing ground should suit.

Point bumper winner; displayed a willing attitude when off the mark over hurdles at Warwick (2m5f, Cl4, soft) last March; perfectly entitled to have needed his February comeback at Exeter and could prove a different proposition now switched to fences; market a useful guide.

Improved last season with each of his four hurdle runs and won on handicap debut at Warwick (2m5f, soft) last March when last seen; absent since but this unexposed 7yo could have plenty more still to offer, especially now upped in trip, and the betting could be informative on his return.
