Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 7yo who went in at the first time of asking over fences in 3m2f Sedgefield handicap in October; cheekpieces fitted when a good fourth at Market Rasen (3m) 24 days ago so he merits serious consideration eased 1lb with headgear on again.

Form & Verdict
Yet to register a victory over fences but he's proving a reliable sort and comes here on the back of a solid third of six at Sedgefield (3m3f) three weeks ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces and he can go well again.

Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here.

A fair winning 3m hurdler but he's been pulled up on both starts in this sphere, latterly in 3m Doncaster handicap 23 days ago; needs to take a significant step forward.

Form & Verdict
A fair maiden hurdler for Colm Murphy last summer and she posted her best effort for her new yard when third of four on her chasing debut in 2m4f Ludlow handicap 15 days ago; not discounted if she builds on that over this longer trip with a tongue-tie added.

Back on track with last month's Huntingdon fourth (3m, good), but once again couldn't tease out her resources for long enough and the change of headgear looks worth a go; player if that works with mark never lower.

Twice runner-up over fences in May, including over C&D, but she turned in a below-par seventh back hurdling at Worcester (2m7f) last month; she needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Opened his chase account for his current yard at Plumpton (25f) in October but he has been held back by his jumping subsequently, pulled up back there last time; hood replaces usual cheekpieces with plenty to prove.
