Form & Verdict
Twice made all on soft ground here last season (2m5f/2m3f); could still have more to offer over fences but has fitness to prove after eight-month absence and today's faster ground may not be ideal.

Form & Verdict
Regressive veteran who was quite useful in his prime and has dropped a long way down the weights; however, positives can be drawn from last month's C&D return from summer break and he might come on for the run; worth a second look.

Eight-time chase winner at up 3m1f but he's well into the veteran stage now and has struggled in three points this year; this looks tough on these terms back over regulation fences and others are preferred.

Looked rather gone at the game last winter so connections and rider Jack Power have done brilliantly to get his enthusiasm back at his age; he completed the hat-trick a shade cosily at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; won on soft twice in midwinter) in March and another win is on the cards.
