Three-time hurdle winner who had been in a good run of form until last time, though the winner of that Hereford race ran well in the Swinton last weekend; can go well if taking to fences.

Close third on handicap debut at Stratford (2m, good) for Richard Phillips in June; below that form over 2m there the following month but remains lightly raced and it will be interesting to see what Nigel Twiston-Davies can do with him.

Maiden who showed patchy form over hurdles and was well beaten last time, but he was a good second at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) two starts ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and his trainer's horses often make better chasers; this 6yo is not ruled out.
