Form & Verdict
Scored over C&D (good to soft) last month and is a dual course winner (2m1f/2m4f, good) off a lower hurdle mark since; back over fences today and an obvious contender in current form.

Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well.

Hurdle (including C&D) and chase winner here and won a chase over the equivalent trip here latest, when on the same mark; well treated if able to translate that form back to this sphere; big player.

Form & Verdict
Bids to complete a hat-trick after soft-ground wins at Worcester (2m) and Bangor (2m1f) this autumn; probably fortunate in those races (leader fell in closing stages both times) but he's only 2lb higher here and ought to be on the premises again.

Form & Verdict
Did well last season, winning three times at Newcastle (2m-2m4f, good-heavy); not seen since his fourth over C&D (good) in May, though, and will need to hit the ground running to have any chance off current mark.

Won all three starts at Newcastle (2m and 2m4f; good and heavy) between December and April last season and was back on track when close up here two starts ago; unseated since; didn't appear to want beyond 2m4f earlier in career but times may have changed now.

Form & Verdict
Not an instant success for new stable this year but has made the frame on last two appearances, more recently when third on return to chasing at Hexham (1m7f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) last month; remains on a good mark and the quicker ground here ought to suit him better.

Form & Verdict
Succumbed only in closing stages after running game race from the front at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) last month and is still on a workable mark after recent 3lb rise but he's too inconsistent to rely upon and his rules strike-rate is 0-18.
