Form & Verdict
Point winner who made it 2-6 over hurdles with his emphatic win at Warwick (3m2f, soft) in November; disappointing in his follow-up bid at Lingfield 13 days later but that may have come too soon and he could resume his progress here after a break; respected for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Recorded his fourth hurdle win when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in December and he's finished runner-up in both runs since, including a game effort when upped to 3m1f at Catterick last month; that latest form looks solid enough and he should have more to offer at staying trips; respected with cheekpieces reapplied.

Gained three of his five hurdle wins at this track (2m4f/2m7f) but looked out of sorts and was pulled up here (2m4f, good to soft) on recent chasing debut; should be fine over today's trip but needs to rebound.

Form & Verdict
Creditable second on his seasonal/stable debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December but he failed to build on that at Huntingdon (eighth of 15) the following month; still relatively lightly raced but he has a bit to prove again after that last run and this is a new trip.

Two wins over hurdles but last year's improvement came at about 3m and he didn't show a lot at Uttoxeter a month ago on his return from 303 days away; even if he takes to fences (0-2 in points), others might be too sharp around here.

Justified favouritism in a Fontwell maiden (2m3f, soft) last spring but he's struggled in both handicaps this winter; still has potential after only six runs but he needs a transformation on this step up to 2m7f.

Has a patchy profile and was disappointing at Sedgefield last time but this strong stayer won by 8l at that track (3m3f, soft) on her penultimate run; has possibilities if she can recapture that form and she's not ruled out; tongue-tie back on.
