Form & Verdict
Bumper winner who has reached the frame in three of his five hurdle runs including when a rallying third behind a dual subsequent winner in a maiden here (2m5f) on his return last month; shaped like a stayer in that race and he looks interesting back in a handicap at this new trip; last run was on good ground but he has form on soft.

Form & Verdict
Returned after wind surgery with a close second at Huntingdon last month and he built on that with a comfortable win at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago; up 5lb but he was as good as ever last time and should be unfazed by this return to slower ground; highly respected.

Below par on last two hurdle starts but may have needed recent run; on a competitive mark on last season's best hurdle form (won over 3m on good ground) and this 6yo showed ability in a point-to-point in May 2022; interesting contender on chase debut.

Form & Verdict
His last win was off 6lb higher over C&D but that was in 2021 and he's not been seen since his third at Perth last April; handles most ground but he has work to do back from a long absence in this competitive race.

Displayed some aptitude for chasing back in March 2022 (his last run in this sphere) and he's on a handy mark judged on hurdle form here in November 2024; however, he hasn't been at his best on his last three hurdle starts (two here) and remains without a win since March 2021.

Form & Verdict
Her highlights last season were her two wins over fences at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft/good to soft) in January; 0-5 over hurdles but she looks well handicapped on her best chase form and has run well when fresh in the past; not ruled out back in this sphere on her return.

Promising third on her handicap debut at Perth (3m, good to soft) in April but she couldn't hang in there after travelling well for a long way at Newcastle (2m4f, good) the following month; has bit to prove again after that well-held fourth and not sure this new trip suit on her return.

Out of form towards end of last year but returned from three-month break with pretty good fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (2m5f, good) 11 days ago, and it will be interesting to see whether this drop back in trip pays dividends.

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner who won twice over fences (3m/3m2f) early last year; now 9lb lower than for last success but he failed to complete in three of his last four runs last season and has something to prove back in this sphere on his return.

Stayed on gamely to score at Kelso (3m2f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) in November but was below that form the following month (albeit on heavy ground) and has become difficult to predict; younger rivals appeal more.

J: Sean Quinlan

T: N W Alexander

Returned to hurdling for last two starts and it paid off last time when he was always front rank to win seven-runner race at Kelso (3m2f, soft; acts on heavy); tongue tied for the first time that day, so maybe he's turned a corner; back up 3lb but his form of previous seasons (up to last December) was significantly better.

Form & Verdict
Record of 0-12 but he was placed in staying handicaps in his final three runs last season including a near-miss at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last time; 3lb higher on his return but this step back up in trip should be fine and he still has scope for further progress; key player.

T: Donald Whillans

Capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Ayr (3m, soft) four weeks ago; he's also effective on good to soft ground and a 4lb rise won't necessarily beat him, but he's inconsistent and has a good record at Ayr, so it's questionable whether he'll produce another good performance today.

Course winner who comes here in decent nick, though he finished tired when second of seven in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase three weeks ago; he can race off a 2lb lower mark here so must still enter calculations.
