Last year's Swinton winner (off 6lb lower) who bumped into a well-treated rival when second of 18 at Cheltenham next time, before finishing fourth to Constitution Hill in the Christmas Hurdle; last season ended prematurely but there's a big run in him if back to best after a break. |

Made it 5-12 over hurdles when winning at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in June; has also won on soft; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two starts and needs to raise his game in this competitive contest. |

11st 9lb |
Successful chase debut over 2m1f here in September and similar sort of form in finishing third the last twice (all on good ground); didn't make life easy for himself by running in snatches the last time but shouldn't be far away over a longer trip that could suit him well. |

Beaten just a short head when upped in trip in Listed mares' hurdle at Limerick (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago; takes a big drop back in distance this afternoon but seems versatile in terms of trip and she could still be improving, despite having had plenty of racing; could have a part to play. |

Capable of very useful form for Henry de Bromhead; however, record for current stable is far from convincing and latest defeat came in lower grade at Newcastle; hopes of revival are pinned on first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces worn the last twice). |
