Form & Verdict
26 defeats include 16 over hurdles but he might have put that right but for some late interference at Bangor two weeks ago (2m3f, good); that was encouraging after 206 days away.

J: Kielan Woods

T: Alex Hales

Just two wins from 43 starts and was well held at Southwell (2m4f) two weeks ago, but he justified favouritism over C&D (good; 6-4) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track.

Hasn't been pulling up any trees in his recent chases following a lengthy absence but he is 2-6 over hurdles and well handicapped should the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) have some impact.

J: Tabitha Worsley

Returned to racing under rules with win in four-runner chase at Fakenham (3m, good) in April, in which his three rivals toiled and were pulled up; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth and his overall profile is not compelling but he clocked a good time (despite being eased right down).

T: Sarah Humphrey

Runner-up over hurdles here (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) on latest rules start last June and competes off a 10lb lower mark today, but his chasing strike-rate is 0-11 and this year's point form is uninspiring.

Backed when winning easily over fences here (2m5f, good) last month but that might be dodgy form and she was then a remote third at Stratford; others preferred.

Won over fences here (2m5f, good) last spring and doubled her course tally in modest handicap hurdle (2m7f, good) a week ago; far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but reverts to chasing on a good mark and has obvious claims if in the right mood again.

Hurdle winner (2m7f) who made it 2-8 over fences when scoring under a prominent ride at Fontwell (2m4f, good) in May; didn't have much in hand but he's only 2lb higher on his return and he had a near-miss over 3m1f on his reappearance last December; key player for in-form yard.
