Had a good summer in chases at up to 3m1f; lost a shoe when tailed off at Chepstow but soon back on track when a close third at Wetherby (3m, good); perhaps high in the weights now but a thorough stamina test could suit. |

Two wins this season (3m1f/2m7f, good) and again ran well when second at Warwick (3m, good to soft) two starts ago; tailed off at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) since but he lost a shoe and he could bounce back today. |

Won at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August and again had plenty in hand at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in September; up the weights and pulled up at Chepstow last time but a bad mistake proved costly; wears first-time cheekpieces and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big run. |

Can't determine present attainment level from last month's Chepstow return (big error at halfway); capable, but his Uttoxeter second the race before constituted his 12th under rules and a win is still awaited. |

Won easily at Ffos Las (3m, heavy; in this new headgear combination) and was unlucky not to follow up over C&D when hampered by a loose horse; suffered another near miss back at Ffos Las (good to soft) when clear of the third; mark has been on the rise but solid chance if straight enough. |

In fair form over hurdles this season and it was back over fences when failing to give his running at Chepstow a month ago; dropping back from 2m7f won't faze him and, back hurdling, has each-way claims. |

Thorough stayer with nine wins on his CV; not an easy one to predict nowadays and failed to build upon his encouraging seasonal debut when never dangerous at Chepstow last month but has his headgear switched today and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

Veteran with nine wins to his name and, with cheekpieces back on, he ran well for a long way at Warwick 17 days ago (good to soft); that was encouraging after a lengthy break but he's no certainty to be as good again. |

Respectable fourth on reappearance at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last month but he jumped right in that race and that took his chase record to 1-13; needs to find more here and this looks tough against some progressive rivals. |

French bumper effort has substance; has something to find on the balance of his British form, sixth in Newbury maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) most recently, but may still do better for top stable. |

Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when second twice in the spring (2m7f/3m2f); very well handicapped on those efforts but has been out of form since (no headgear for last three runs) and needs to turn a corner. |
