In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred.

Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up.

J: Ellis Collier

T: Evan Williams

Struck form in new visor in August, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) by clear margins, but suffered big dip in form on next two outings and was unable to land a telling blow when fourth in refitted cheekpieces at Newton Abbot on Saturday (albeit not beaten far in the end); no headgear today.

Form & Verdict
Battled on from unlikely position to score by 8l here (2m5f, good) on chasing debut in May, an eventful race in which the clear leader fell two out, but it's wise to treat that piece of form with a degree of caution; only fourth of six at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last time; tries a new trip today.

Made a winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f) in May; failed to stay 3m1f when fourth there subsequently but shaped encouragingly reverted to hurdles after seven months off when third in 2m2f Exeter handicap 18 days ago; merits serious consideration back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Safely held in two handicap chases (2m5f/2m4f) for new stable this summer and now 0-9 overall but positives can be drawn from both those performances and today's longer trip may show her in a better light.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over fences last season (3m2f/3m1f) and added to his tally at Southwell (3m, good) in June; current mark ought to be manageable but he needs to up his game after two below-par efforts.

11st 9lb

J: Jack Tudor

T: Christian Williams

26,000euros 3yo; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to bumper and smart 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Casey Jones; ran in two Irish maiden points last year, runner-up in October on second occasion; probably one for later on but market should guide on rules debut.

9 yo Mare

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
Has mixed record since her soft-ground win here (2m5f) in September but is 5lb below that mark now and seemed to be going okay when falling at fifth-last fence over that trip here last month; not out of this if stamina holds out.
