Form & Verdict
Four-time chase winner; looked set to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last month until unseating rider after penultimate fence but wasn't in same form at Kelso a week later and a 5lb rise has now taken effect; up in grade today; others look stronger.

Six-time chase winner, the last twice off today's mark; probably not ideally suited by heavy ground when respectable fifth in series final at Carlisle (2m4f) last month but others appeal more all the same.

Form & Verdict
Began last season with two wins, the latter gained off mark 2lb higher than today's at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in November; had some jumping issues after the turn of the year and was safely held when reverting to hurdling for latest start in May but has possibilities if he finds some fluency here.

Form & Verdict
Has very good 7-17 strike-rate over fences and will be very well suited by this left-handed 2m4f on good ground; needs to bounce back from a poor performance last month but was given a wind op soon afterwards and has slipped to a very tempting mark.

Won two 2m4f handicaps for Ben Pauling last year, the second a two-runner event at Warwick; bit to prove after being pulled up on hunter chase debut at Ludlow in March (2m4f, good), including stamina.

It was a match he won at Warwick in October (2m4f handicap, good) but that took his strike-rate to 9-30 over fences; remains in the same colours despite leaving Ben Pauling; should give his running on hunter chase debut.

Regressive 11yo who has gone nearly two years since his last win; has conditions to suit here but was safely held on latest outing in August and needs subsequent wind op to have made a difference.

Without a win since 2019 and no longer the force of old but has often performed with credit in major races; probably didn't have race run to suit when close fifth on last month's seasonal debut (developed into a sprint) and has slipped to a very attractive mark; cheekpieces refitted.
