J: Callum Pritchard

T: Joe Tickle

Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Joe Tickle

Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider.

J: Bryan Carver

Three-time Flat winner and successful four times over hurdles; however, hasn't been running all that well under either code following a year on the sidelines and this is a belated first attempt at chasing.

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run at Southwell in March (1m classified); not at his best in either run after a break and testing conditions might not be for him.

Dual C&D winner; would have claims if in the form of his close second here (7f) last November but needs to step up on what he's produced since, now going back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Very minor form in three runs for Grace Harris, initially over 5f and last time at 7f; has a BHA mark of 38 so these terms aren't favourable.

Only six runners when he ran away with a classified at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August, breaking his duck at the 12th attempt; third in two handicaps since, with a creditable show at Leicester (7f, heavy) latterly but he was no match for winner Temper Trap.

Only six runners when he ran away with a classified at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August, breaking his duck at the 12th attempt; respectable third in a handicap (1m, good) next time and he has to be given a second look if it's heavy ground again.

Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when running away with a 1m classified at Ffos Las (third run visored); back up 4lb now returned to a handicap but has been competitive off this sort of figure (on this faster ground); 1m2f shouldn't be a problem; chance.
