Form & Verdict
Seen only twice last season, latterly when running very poorly on chasing debut in February, and reverts to hurdling with some questions to answer but has, at times, shown considerable promise; good market support will make him of strong interest.

Only seen twice since making all in a 2m4f open point under Imogen Mathias one year ago, and would have run the winner closer than around 3l at Newton Abbot latest (2m5f, good to soft) but for whacking two out; 1lb rise is very fair.

T: Tim Vaughan

2m4f point winner who's done most racing under rules over shorter; tough task in a C&D hunter chase when last seen ten months ago and, while better off into ordinary handicap company for his new yard, it's possible he'll need this at his age.

Form & Verdict
0-6 over hurdles but made the frame in a quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) on handicap debut in March and was very respectable fourth of 15 on soft ground at Kelso last month; a player.

T: Tim Easterby

Fair form over hurdles last season, running okay when fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) in March; subsequent Flat efforts nothing to get excited about but he arrrives fit for this hurdle reappearance and may have more to give in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish maiden; made quite promising stable debut in early October but has not built upon that performance on his three subsequent appearances; recent 6lb drop helps, but he still needs to raise his game.

Placed off 3lb higher mark for Nicky Henderson on handicap debut in May (2m, good) but has struggled on both outings for current stable this autumn (3m/2m) and needs the added headgear to make a big difference today.

His near-9l fifth in this race last year (behind Clean Getaway) came at the end of a fairly busy spring/summer campaign; defied longer absence than today's for April's Sedgefield success, but yet to convince this higher sort of mark hasn't compromised him for further win purposes.
