Form & Verdict
3-9 over hurdles; absent since a below-par run in February and not obviously well handicapped for this chasing debut but won when fresh last season and could quite plausibly have untapped potential over fences.

Beat three rivals to make winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in October and ran well until penultimate-fence fall on latest outing in December; effective on good ground and might still have more to offer over fences; respected.

Form & Verdict
Headstrong front-runner who is very hard to catch on his good days but has a very mixed record; opened chasing account at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in March but was well beaten over the same C&D three weeks later; returns from six-month break here.

Won over hurdles and fences in Britain on soft/heavy; standout effort for current yard came over here last month when coming home strongly to be beaten a nose in 2m5f handicap hurdle, after being a bit short of room and having to be switched in closing stages; up 3lb for that but should go well.

Form & Verdict
Took very well to chasing at start of this year, winning three in a row at Plumpton (2m1f-2m3f) before running big race in defeat at Newbury (2m, good to soft); ended last season with a poor run but further progress remains possible.

Four chase wins, the latest from the front off reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in February; just a respectable third of five at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month but could be hard to catch if able to dominate here.

Showed the benefit of a wind op when making all to exploit reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last month; went back up 8lb for that but this right-handed track should also suit; likely contender.

Form & Verdict
Held on gamely to make all over C&D (good to soft) on last month's return to chasing and is now 4-8 over fences; wouldn't normally have much margin for error off a mark this high but may have a fitness edge on his three rivals today.

Dual chase winner last year; signed off with two poor runs in the autumn but was respectable fifth of 13 over C&D (good) off his lower hurdle mark when returning last month; not out of this if that run brought him on.

Gained a tenth career success when scoring over fences at Fontwell in October off a 13lb higher mark, but ended the year with two pulled-up efforts; returns from a 277-day break with something to prove back over hurdles, but he's bounced back from quiet spells before.

Made it 6-17 over fences with his brave win at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; flopped in his follow-up bid at Huntingdon (pulled up) but he's only 1lb higher than for that penultimate run and he won here in the summer; player if he can bounce back.
