Very lightly raced 10yo who began career with four convincing wins (a point, a bumper and two novice hurdles); returned from mammoth absence with 41l defeat on handicap hurdle debut in January, though, and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this chasing debut.

Form & Verdict
Very lightly raced 7yo who won a maiden hurdle in spring 2022 and returned from long layoff to score on last month's chase/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (3m, soft); recent 4lb rise does not look excessive, and he could still have significant potential.

Very lightly raced 7yo who made winning chase/handicap debut here (3m, soft) in April and ran well in defeat at Bangor (3m, good to soft) last month, despite again jumping right; probably still has potential but needs to take a good step forward to win this from 9lb out of the weights.

Form & Verdict
Seen only twice since winning 3m handicap hurdle at 2021 Aintree festival, and neither of last season's chasing attempts went well; arrives here with a bit to prove but may yet get his act together over fences.

Very useful handicap hurdler a few years ago; lightly raced in the meantime but got his act together over fences three months ago, winning readily by 10l over C&D (good), and ought to be better suited by today's forecast slower ground; major player.

Form & Verdict
Four-time hurdle winner; pulled up on chasing debut in November but fared much better when close second at Stratford (2m6f, good) this month, after a break; takes on some classy opponents here but still considered.

Unseated early last time at Perth; it was an ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) the time before but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; could catch some of these cold from a fitness perspective.
