Form & Verdict
Better than ever with two C&D wins (adding to two course hurdle successes) on good to soft in the spring, the latter at the expense of Cedar Hill; his stable's excellent spell this autumn provides hope that he'll return from a six-month break in similarly good form.

10yo who wasn't at his best last year but all six of his wins have come here and his third of six over C&D (good to soft) in November was a step back in the right direction; another 2lb lower today; in calculations.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner who made a solid return to action when third over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago, with Cedar Hill 1l ahead in second; 1lb better off with that rival now so there shouldn't be much between them.

Has a good record here but all his best days have been over shorter distances and, now an 11yo, he's leaving it late to prove his worth over this far.

Form & Verdict
Generally very consistent over 2m-2m4f in recent seasons; didn't get the chance to show what he could do (unseated before halfway) on his recent recent Wetherby reappearance but he was prominent in the betting and his yard has been among the winners; potential class act.

Won this 12 months ago on his reappearance when 4lb lower and then finished a 2l second to Primoz at Wetherby, the form of which could be reversed on these more favourable terms; consistent and should have every chance.

Has consistent form figures and should give his running but this 10yo may have to settle for a supporting role off top weight; returns to fences after two runs over hurdles.
