Form & Verdict

Irish point winner who showed some promise in his three runs over hurdles but he was a well-held fifth of seven on his handicap/chase debut at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) in April; still unexposed but he made some mistakes last time and needs improvement on his return.

Form & Verdict

Hasn't seen much action in the last 20 months and was well held at Cartmel (3m1f) in August but that was in a Class 3 event and he's now 1lb lower than for his win in this race (soft) last year; dangerous on this drop back in trip and grade.

Form & Verdict

Won off 9lb higher here (3m, good to soft) last April but that is her sole win from 22 starts over fences and she was well held in final five runs last season; returns from 173 days off and she has some work to do back at this trip; change of headgear.

Form & Verdict

Dual hurdle winner (2m/2m4f), who is 0-5 over fences but he finished placed in his final three runs last year including a clear second behind an improver at Bangor (3m, good) last time; returns from 381 days off but he's effective in the mud and needs watching in the market.
