Form & Verdict
Gained Taunton maiden win in March on heavy going but is also effective on quicker ground; beginning to look exposed now and was no match for winner when second on July's hurdling return at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but can cope with today's drop back in trip and ought to run his race again.

Five-time hurdle winner, including over 2m5f here in October when ridden by Isabelle Ryder, form which gives him a solid chance; beaten 35l at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and needs to bounce back but he's won off a similar break in the past.

Knows how to win and was close up in a Class 3 handicap last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) which was bordering on his best form; every chance.

Form & Verdict
Not an instant success over hurdles but has improved since the spring and is 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, the latter win gained in very good style at Market Rasen (2m, good) three weeks ago; the one to beat here.

Has rather mixed record over fences this season but belied 40-1 odds when close third in valuable Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) won by Bluey in January and last month's Cheltenham Festival defeat is easily excused; on good mark if on her mettle.

Five-time hurdle winner who has shown some promise over fences this season but she was only fourth of six in a Listed mares' chase at Huntingdon last month and has bundles to find in today's company.

Five wins over hurdles; 0-4 since switched to fences but ran well off a handy mark in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) most recently; however, at the weights she has about a stone to find with the pick on ratings in this field.

Form has regressed since May's encouraging start in handicaps (2m, good), latest when finishing remote; cheekpieces now added but she's hard to make a case for from out of the weights.

Started her handicap career with a promising third at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May but she's not gone on from that and was an early faller at Newton Abbot 12 days ago; has some questions to answer and she needs to get back on track.
