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.

T: Brian Ellison

Dual 1m6f Flat winner; made inauspicious start to hurdling career but seemed very much to be getting his act together when keeping on to snatch second at Doncaster (2m, soft) 12 days ago, and promises to be suited by today's step up in trip; leading contender.

4yo who was progressive at an ordinary level on the Flat in autumn; took a step forward when fourth at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month on third hurdle start but beaten 18l and needs another chunk of improvement.

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.

Form & Verdict
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.

Two wins last summer came at a lesser level, latterly over 2m1f off 3lb lower, and he wants a good test at this trip; doesn't boast the greatest reappearance record down the years and, like stablemate Saratoga Gold, may need this after seven months off.
