Form & Verdict
Dual chase winner towards end of last season; had to dig pretty deep to reel in lowly rated 12yo at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft) on latter occasion but remains lightly raced under rules and ought to be suited by today's step up in trip.

Front-runner who is 5-10 over fences but the handicapper is beginning to look in charge and he worryingly refused to race last week at Market Rasen; cheekpieces are soon turned to.

Free-going front-runner with 5-9 strike-rate over fences; unable to justify favouritism but still ran well before weakening into third at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, and could be hard to catch here if that run has brought him on.

Front-runner who is 5-8 over fences and he found more progress when runner-up in the Durham National (3m5f, good) in October; this is a different test on his return but he still looks on a workable mark and was successful over 2m4f last spring; has worn a hood in all of his chase runs but the headgear is missing today.

Form & Verdict
Has taken pretty well to fences this year and drew nicely clear to score at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last month; went up 9lb for that and may not be ideally suited by the quicker ground here but still respected.

Form & Verdict
Won over hurdles last year and ran big race when second over C&D (good; first-time blinkers) on last month's chasing debut; however, this quirky mare didn't appear to be helping her jockey much in the closing stages and always comes with risk attached.

Made quite promising start to chase career in spring but now reverts to hurdling after lesser effort last month; all recent form is over 3m but she can cope with today's drop back in trip and her current mark is workable.

Came good over fences at third attempt, at Chepstow (2m3f, good) in March, and both subsequent runs (2m4f/2m5f) were perfectly respectable; well worth another crack at 3m and probably won't be far away.

Yet to build upon last spring's maiden hurdle win and was safely held in two handicap chases (3m/2m4f) towards end of last season; will appreciate this slight ease in grade, though, and might be perked up by first-time cheekpieces.
