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.

J: Alan O’Sullivan

T: T Hogan

Won over hurdles and fences in Britain on soft/heavy; came home strongly to be beaten a nose behind Arcland at Killarney on penultimate (unlucky on the day); came home powerfully again when second at the same track (22.5f, good) last month; up another 3lb but should go well.

T: T Hogan

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.

J: Kevin Brogan

T: Toby Lawes

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.

T: Charlie Longsdon

Veteran who returned to form with an odds-on win in three -runner handicap here (2m6f, good) last month; this is a tougher test but he's only 2lb higher than last time and he has a good strike-rate (7-20) over fences.

Dual chase winner last year but was pulled up in his last two runs in this discipline and has been well held off his lower hurdle mark this summer; 5lb beneath the mark he defied here a year ago but has some questions to answer now.

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.
