Form & Verdict
Only beaten about 5l when ninth in 3m handicap hurdle at Cheltenham Festival (soft) in March and was creditable third when switched back to fences there (3m2f, good) in April; not seen since below-par C&D run in May but ran very well when fresh last autumn; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up three consecutive times over hurdles (all 2m7f, good) since rejoining Fergal O'Brien this season but was just a modest second of four behind Any News on this month's rather belated chasing debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) and needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high over fences; seems versatile ground-wise.

Form & Verdict
Lost out only by a nose in quite valuable handicap hurdle at Cartmel (2m6f, heavy; also suited by good ground) in July but was no match for the easy winner when second on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (3m, good) and needs to build on that performance.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark over fences at 12th attempt, keeping on well to beat two chasing debutants (one was Polish) in small field at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month; has a bit more on his plate here but is still well handicapped on older form and can handle good to soft/soft ground.

Won at Worcester, Wetherby (walked over) and Exeter in the autumn, from 15 starts in total over fences; unraced beyond 3m but stayed on gamely to take 11-runner race over that trip (good) last time and this distance looks worth a go; 5lb higher today but has gone well on occasions after a layoff and needs plenty of respect.

Walked over last week at Wetherby; the ground was too soft the time before and he had previously opened his account over fences by 10l in a small field at Worcester (2m7f, good; 6lb lower); consistency is not his forte.
