Form & Verdict
Point and bumper winner; easily justified favouritism on hurdles debut at Wexford (3m maiden; good to yielding) a fortnight ago; penalised accordingly but trainer usually does well with his British runners (2-4 at Cartmel this season); likely to have plenty more to offer with conditions to suit.

Recorded two wide-margin wins in July, over 3m Wexford on good to yielding and over 2m6f at Cartmel; weakened from two out in 2m5f Cheltenham Grade 2 contest a month ago; down in class now.

Irish 5yo who is 2-2 since switch to hurdles, recording 18l wins at Wexford (3m, good to yielding) and Cartmel (2m6f, heavy) in July; now goes in tongue-tie; faces stiffer opposition upped in class but looks useful and brings respectable RPRs to this bigger stage; interesting contender.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Gordon Elliott; off the mark at Market Rasen (2m2f maiden, good) on second start for this trainer, and runner-up to a progressive rival at Uttoxeter (2m4f) since; reasonable chance assuming that he's effective over this longer trip.

On a lengthy losing run and he's offered little in two runs for his current handler, tenth in 2m4f Perth handicap 30 days ago; he's not easy to make a case for.

Form & Verdict
1-11 in Irish points; fair stable/rules debut fourth of six at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) but failed to build on that when toiling under this 7lb claimer at Worcester (2m4f, good) recently; others have stronger credentials.

Hadn't shown much form over hurdles or fences until landing 2m5f Sligo handicap in August, appreciating soft ground when coming from off the pace; absent since but goes well fresh and conditions to suit off 7lb higher.
