Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 3yo who improved upon his previous form when going beyond 1m2f for the first time and winning at Redcar recently (1m6f); attracted market support that day and he could have more to offer at this trip.

Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June when back from a break; unplaced at odds-on over hurdles next time and also below par when back on the Flat at York (2m, good to firm) most recently; however, the first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift and there can be optimism that this trip will be within range; trainer won this last year; in calculations.

Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting.

Form & Verdict
Two-time AW winner (including on Tapeta) who was fit from hurdling when a close third at Doncaster (1m6f) in July; not at his best over hurdles three weeks ago but lost a shoe and he could be thereabouts today.

Three-time AW winner who is yet to score in nine attempts over hurdles, but was placed on his last two starts in this sphere before a below-par Flat run at Redcar last time; this looks a good opportunity to open his hurdles account.

Form & Verdict
Encouraging third on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m5f, Polytrack) last month and filled the same position at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) last time, albeit no match for the front two; improvement is needed but his trainer is in good form and perhaps the cheekpieces will eke out something extra.

Flat background; mildly progressive when first then second in two 4yo hurdles but he ran miserably switched to handicaps at Sedgefield where his jumping didn't stand the test; returning to slower ground may help but unlikely that he's on that great a mark.

A fair staying maiden on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes; has made a positive start in this sphere, scoring at Catterick (2m) in January and backing it up with a good second of seven in 2m Kelso juvenile 32 days ago; not out of things now going into handicaps.

3yo who returned to form in reapplied cheekpieces and a first-time tongue-tie (both retained) to win at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last month; led on the line last time and this further increase in distance could be a positive; effective here and she's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Rejuvenated 8yo who won at Leicester (1m4f) in May and followed up at Bath (2m1f), then finished second at Newbury (1m5f) in July when last seen; effective over C&D and he's a player if resuming where he left off.
