Very useful chaser in his prime but last month's hurdling win at Fontwell (2m5f, good) came off a hugely reduced handicap mark and it's not easy to predict whether his revival will gather momentum.

Very useful chaser in his prime but this year's efforts, in three hurdles and a chase, make him tough to recommend.

Form & Verdict
Dual chase winner who got off the mark over hurdles over C&D (good to soft) last month; up 4lb but has won off a higher mark over fences so may be able to build on that.

J: Ben Jones

T: Emma Lavelle

10yo with a record of 3-30; has patchy profile and was tailed off at Warwick last month but he finished a close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift.

Similar type to Thankyourluckystar, being a 10yo who finished second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but seems unlikely to go one better in this field, against opponents who are mostly less exposed.

Currently in a consistent vein of form, having posted form figures of 2212 in last four appearances; ran creditably when bidding for Fontwell double (2m5f) last time; solid chance.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent sort who followed up a good third at Sligo (3m1f, good) in July with a below-par sixth at Ballinrobe (3m2f, good); needs to be at his best to give the weight away here.

Flat and good ground maiden hurdle winner who has coped with soft ground in the past; ran well off 2lb higher at Sligo in July but not as good the last twice; place chance if reproduces that Sligo effort.

First run over this sort of trip when springing a 50-1 surprise at Hereford in October; proved it was no fluke when third at that track (also 3m2f, good) a fortnight ago; latter form looks solid and he's unexposed as a stayer; player despite potential ground query.
