Form & Verdict
Made steady progress in maiden/novice hurdles in the summer (2m-2m4f) and looked very well suited by step up to 2m7f when winning in good style by 8l on last month's handicap debut at Uttoxeter; hiked up 10lb for that but could still be ahead of the game.

Form & Verdict
Given break after two below-par runs in May but returned with 11l win at Perth (2m4f, heavy) last month; will be fine on less testing ground and looks well worth another crack at this sort of trip; major player.

Lacked fluency when fourth in two 3m Fakenham chases this autumn and now reverts to hurdling; will be suited by today's drop back in trip, though, and and won't mind the forecast rain; can exploit a favourable mark.

Form & Verdict
Dual chase winner at Newton Abbot (2m5f/3m2f) since returned to racing under rules for new stable this season and ran big race in defeat over hurdles there (3m2f) last month; seems versatile regarding ground and is probably still on a workable mark; respected.

Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting.

Well handicapped on her chase form in 2024; one to watch in the betting on this first run since that November but it's a hefty absence to defy and she's 0-8 over hurdles as opposed to 4-13 over fences.

Latest chase success was a 3m3f handicap at Stratford in August (good to firm); fair efforts afterwards and 2m5f looked too sharp at Fakenham five days ago; one of two good chances for Evan Williams.

Form & Verdict
Displayed improvement when just holding on to make all in Uttoxeter maiden (2m4f, good) six weeks ago, his fourth start over hurdles; probably needs to progress again to make winning handicap debut here but that's possible if the longer trip suits.
