Form & Verdict
Two-time bumper winner (including here on good to soft); it's taken a while for things to click over hurdles but he kept on well for second at Kelso (2m5f, good) in September, behind one who followed up, and he's open to further improvement now upped in trip; interesting contender.

Form & Verdict
He was completing a double when winning this race last year (good to soft) under Conor Rabbitt; hasn't progressed subsequently but he's just 2lb higher than 12 months ago and returns from a break with his trainer very much among the winners; he's one to consider.

Won at Perth (3m, soft; good ground fine) in September and her heavy defeat on the Flat last month isn't a concern in today's context as she's shown very little in that code this season; however, her last seven wins have all come at Perth and it's a long time since she ran well here.
