Form & Verdict
Came good with C&D (good) win in June and matched that level again when a clear second over C&D (good) last month; respected granted his conditions but has twice been taken out on account of soft ground this season which is a big concern in view of the recent rain.

Dual C&D winner who returned from break with two low-key runs in February/March; usually knocks about in lower-grade races than this but returns to this track on a workable mark (even from 3lb out of the weights) and is versatile regarding ground.

Won at Cartmel (2m5f, soft) last June and runner-up at Perth (3m, good) in September; below par at Hexham in October when last seen but a break may have helped and he can go well fresh; could be a contender on his return.

Form & Verdict
Useful when on song for Gordon Elliott in Ireland but well beaten on all three starts for Ben Haslam (3m1f/2m4f), most recently when pulling up at Uttoxeter last month; however, he's become too well treated to ignore and he's now become of interest, especially if strong in the market.

Form & Verdict
Six-time chase winner (2m-2m7f) on ground no worse than good to soft, with two of those coming here; has emerged from a slump in form with some solid placed efforts in June/July and wasn't disgraced when third here (2m1f) on Saturday; respected back up in trip.

No longer the force of old and very inconsistent nowadays but battled well for narrow C&D (soft) win over Judicial Review last month, his fifth course success; also suited by good ground and recent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Stuart Crawford; sole win has come over fences but ran well for a long way back over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on last month's stable debut; has undergone wind surgery since and reverts to fences on a workable mark in a refitted tongue-tie; interesting with the booking of a 7lb claimer.
