Form & Verdict
Creditable front-running second over 12.5f here on reappearance and may not have been helped by racing alone against the far rail (main action near rail) when only seventh back here (12.5f again) since; treated as if still in form and the step back up in trip is a help if anything for this former C&D winner.

Gained most recent success off just 1lb lower in June (over 2m at Catterick); however, subsequent form (Flat/hurdles) is unconvincing.

Four-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April; only 2lb higher today and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but disappointed on last two outings (hurdles/Flat) and arrives here with a point to prove.

Front-runner who has made all in all four of his victories on the Flat, including two over C&D; modest over hurdles 12 days ago but respected back here, especially as he may again enjoy the run of the race; new headgear combination.

In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance.

Easily best effort in four maiden/novice hurdles last season when second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); did manage back-to-back wins over 2m on the Flat at Catterick last May but more recent AW Flat efforts have been no more than respectable.

Well beaten in a 3m Musselburgh handicap hurdle at the end of November but had been progressive in staying handicaps on the Flat there prior to that, winning twice and finishing second; likely has more to offer in this sphere assuming she's fully primed after three months off.

Three-time Flat winner since joining Ben Haslam last summer, most recently at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in May; 2lb nudge for that looks fair but suffered a heavy defeat over hurdles when last seen in June; market support would boost her claims.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 5yo who has thrived on Tapeta this winter, scoring three times at around 2m; it was only wayward tendencies which cost him another win at Wolverhampton last time (first past post but demoted to second) and he looks sure to go well again.
