His win in this 12 months ago was the middle leg of a hat-trick; has since shown that he can deal with this higher rating and he produced another good course run on his penultimate start; Cartmel last time was a new experience.

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Lisa Harrison

Four-time C&D winner; returned from a break with very poor hurdle run here last month and can't be supported confidently after that, but reverts to fences on a good mark and won't mind what the weather does.

Scored twice over fences at Worcester (23f) last summer and he posted a very good second in 3m Perth handicap chase last month; reverts to hurdles now off a reduced mark so he's a likely player.

Has done well over fences in cheekpieces this season, winning twice at Worcester last summer (2m7f, good) and good second over C&D in September (good); fair run after a break last time; should be in the mix.

J: Adam Wedge

0-8 over fences, versatile regarding trip but he keeps coming up short in small fields; did so by a big margin at Chepstow (2m) on latest start, after 158 days off but he was sent off joint favourite; good form chance judged on most chase efforts.
