Form & Verdict
Has a regressive profile but his mark continues to fall; creditable third over fences at Hexham (1m7f, soft) in October and didn't run badly over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) recently following a two-month break; might not be far away now back chasing.

Form & Verdict
Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form with a fair third of six at Catterick in December in first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie (both retained) on his fourth stable start; however, he needs a bigger run today if he's to break his duck at the 18th attempt.

Form & Verdict
Won at Carlisle (2m4f, good) in November and runner-up over this C&D the next twice (good to soft/soft); below par at Carlisle a fortnight ago but that stiff 2m5f on soft ground may have stretched her; runner-up on four of her five visits to Musselburgh and could have a part to play now back here.

Won two 2m4f chases last season (good/good to soft) and gave good account when clear second over C&D (good to soft) in the autumn; recent defeat from out of the weights can be overlooked and she won't mind if the ground remains soft; good chance.

Form & Verdict
Having been struggling for form he staged a revival with a 20-1 win at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last month on his second chase start; a 6lb rise might not stop him if he can repeat that performance.

Seized the initiative, already having the race in safe keeping when left clear at the second last, at Doncaster (2m3f, good; from 9lb lower) in February; well beaten at Southwell subsequently and likely to face competition for the lead here; close to a career best required.

None too consistent but he made it 4-12 over fences when scoring by 20l at Doncaster (2m3f, good; was left clear late on) and he's only 4lb higher for this return to hurdles; still comes with risks given overall profile and he's 0-9 in this discipline.

Form & Verdict
10yo who has been pulled up the last twice but he ran well for a fair way over hurdles last time following a break, over a 3m trip that probably stretches him; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Cartmel last June and he's not written off.
