Form & Verdict
7-15 over fences with peak form last May/July; ran respectably twice this April but pulled up on two subsequent starts, with cheekpieces added in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f); regained the winning thread back there in July (cheekpieces removed; Hang In There third) in a race that rather fell apart but that would have boosted his confidence; strong claims off an unchanged mark.

T: Sam England

He won two in a row in the summer (3m2f/2m7f, good) but was pulled up at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October and soundly beaten in the Rehearsal at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last time; needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
8-16 over fences; gained a deserved win when landing the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) in June after some solid seconds in the spring/summer and had a plausible excuse when returning there off this mark last month when just over 10l third behind Kinondo Kwetu (failed to settle having found no cover); that gives good reason to believe he could gain his revenge over this slightly shorter trip.

Form & Verdict
Useful chase form last season and ran well in a Cheltenham handicap hurdle in April (3m, good); wasn't at the same level next time at Haydock and didn't beat a rival home when a 40l last of 13 at Uttoxeter in June; reverts to fences with something to prove.

Well beaten at Doncaster in December when last seen but made a bad mistake six out; running well in defeat previously (on ground ranging from good through to soft) and can be in the mix if back on song.

Form & Verdict
8-18 over fences, the last two wins gained in hunter chases this spring; favourite when 38l sixth of 14 to Hang In There in the Summer Cup over C&D on latest outing, but that was on good to soft and all his wins under rules have been on good ground; 4lb wrong but can't be ruled out with conditions ideal and a capable claimer in the saddle.

J: Mr Tom Hutsby

T: F A Hutsby

Eight wins over rules fences include two hunter chases last year; joined this yard for £30,000 in October; suited by good ground but he was too free for his own good after a break when tailed off behind Bardenstown Lad at Fakenham; even should he give himself a greater chance here, his form credentials aren't that persuasive; cheekpieces return.

A number of good runs in defeat in the last year including the last twice on either side of a lengthy break, finishing second in the Grand Sefton at Aintree (2m5f) and third at Ayr three weeks ago when behind Will Carver; running style suggests 3m is well worth a go.

Some good runs in defeat last May-November, finishing second in the Grand Sefton at Aintree (2m5f, good to soft) when last seen; also effective on good ground; lacks a recent outing but has won when fresh in the past and he'll be a major player if resuming where he left off.

Three-time C&D winner, latest a class 3 in June off 3lb lower; ran well for a long way at Perth (3m, good) in July but he has something to find from 7lb out of the weights at this higher level.
