Form & Verdict
Four-time course winner over fences, most recently when making all over today's trip on soft ground in May; subsequent defeat in a competitive race at Uttoxeter is not viewed too harshly and he has strong claims off his lower hurdle mark today.

Form & Verdict
Made excellent progress in the spring, winning three in a row on good ground (2m3f-2m4f), and has remained in good form; seemed to stay 3m2f at Fontwell in June but the likely slower ground here is a worry.

Improving 6yo who won three good-ground handicaps this spring (2m3f-2m4f); has hefty penalty to shoulder on his return to novice company but is very likely to make his presence felt.

Five-time hurdle winner for Milton Harris; running well for current yard and this ground suits better than the soft he ran on last time; won't fail through a lack of stamina.

Five-time hurdle winner for Milton Harris (twice over C&D) and in decent nick for new stable this year; beaten under 3l when third over C&D (good) last month and slower ground also suits; probably in the mix again.
