Form & Verdict
Came good over hurdles at seventh attempt, with wide-margin success at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January, and was not discredited when second under penalty at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) soon afterwards; effectively another 4lb higher than last time but at least we know he's in good nick.

Creditable second behind well-handicapped rival here (2m, soft) in November and will be fine over today's longer trip but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and needs first-time cheekpieces to help him rebound from a poor run over fences a fortnight ago.

Mixed results over hurdles this term; chase record reads 24FPP; returns to this sphere looking well treated on best form but it's difficult to know what to expect from him.

Proven on deep ground and has run well here over 2m-2m4f; failed to complete on his last three starts (all here) last winter; returns on a handy mark and has won when fresh, so he could be involved if revived.

Form & Verdict
Required a persistent ride before eventually finishing well to make winning handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in January, and again made jockey work hard before staying on well for close/clear second here (2m5f, heavy) last month; evidently a bit of a character, but it will be interesting to see whether he travels more sweetly in first-time blinkers today.

Hurdle winner who made it third-time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism at Huntingdon (extended 2m7f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb but he was as good as ever with that clearcut win and is open to more progress at staying trips; big player in new headgear.

Winning hurdler but a hard ride and needed lots of driving before staying on into third on his second chase start at Fontwell two weeks ago (2m5f, good); at least he arrives in some form and this longer trip is worth a go.

Form & Verdict
Has displayed huge improvement since fitted with tongue-tie for last two races, more recently when scoring readily by 6l on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago; has plenty of scope for further progress and needs to be taken seriously.

Launched chasing career with two wins in the autumn (2m4f/2m7f) and came second in two subsequent Listed races (hurdle/chase); lost out only narrowly to a next-time-out winner when back in a handicap at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has a fighting chance here.

Form & Verdict
Won what was effectively a match here (2m1f, heavy) on seasonal debut in November and was very respectable fourth at Warwick (2m, soft) on next outing; needs to bounce back from last month's lesser effort but is on a good mark and could quite plausibly have untapped potential over today's trip.
