Grade 2 novice hurdle winner (2m4f, good to soft) who was pulled up on chase debut in November (irregular heartbeat) but impressed in four-runner Grade 2 novice at Windsor (2m, soft) in January, when subsequent Cheltenham Festival winner Caldwell Potter was 4l behind in second; unraced on good ground; the step back up in trip seems a likely plus; firmly in calculations. |

11st 7lb |
Short-headed in Grade 1 Scilly Isles at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) in February on second chase start and rallied from a very unpromising position to win the Arkle at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; unraced on good ground; ran big races over hurdles on both visits here and he's a leading contender with the step back up in trip likely to be in his favour. |

Won Grade 2 novice at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last November and posted a career best when highly creditable fourth in the Grade 1 Manifesto Novices' Chase at Aintree 23 days ago (2m4f, good to soft; his ninth chase start); his form needs to go to another new level if he's to come out on top today. |

Won Grade 2 Rising Stars at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November and 1l second to Rubaud in Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) in February, when conceding 5lb to the winner (level weights today); relatively exposed (2-8 over fences) but this course hurdles winner is not ruled out each-way. |

Prolific over hurdles (including Grade 2 wins) and 1l second to classy yardstick in Grade 2 Kingmaker at Warwick (2m, soft) in February on second chase start, before going one better in Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft); well below that level last time when fifth in Grade 1 Manifesto Novices' at Aintree and he's likely to struggle against the market principles. |

12st 0lb |
Last season over hurdles ended on a low note at this meeting; solid for most of this term, switched to fences for last five starts and winning twice in small fields; put firmly in his place in Grade 1 novice events over 2m4f here in February and particularly at Aintree last time, but this return to a handicap will also demand a career best. |

Experienced hurdler who won Grade 2 novice on chase debut at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) in December and made it 2-4 over fences in warm little handicap at Exeter (2m1f, good) last time; ran well behind two of these in Grade 2 at Kempton in February but likely to be vulnerable in this company. |

Won two Grade 1 novice chases in Ireland in December (2m4f/3m, yielding/good to yielding) before bumping into Ballyburn in Grade 1 at Leopardstown (2m5f, yielding) in February, when a 5l second; had Heart Wood and Better Days Ahead narrowly behind in second for his Grade 1 wins, and those two franked the form at the Cheltenham Festival; he's one to consider. |

Rock solid novice chaser, showing his versatility when winning both the Grade 1 Drinmore over 2m4f and when just seeing off stablemate Better Days Ahead in the 3m Grade 1 here at Christmas; does nothing flashy and easy to underestimate but guaranteed to run his race. |

Impressed in Doncaster handicap (2m3f, good to soft) in December on second chase start and travelled well when again doing it nicely in Musselburgh handicap (2m4f, good to soft) in February; won on good ground over hurdles; this is a vastly tougher test of his credentials but he arrives fresh and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie; interesting contender. |

Beat subsequent Grade 2 winner on chase debut at Punchestown in October (2m, good to yielding); poor runs since including two falls; outclassed in an Aintree Grade 1 last time; this is a more realistic level but needs to sort out his jumping; cheekpieces now go on. |
