Form & Verdict
Enjoyed a revival over hurdles in early part of this season, winning twice, and was also on target on the Flat last month; current mark is workable and today's trip/ground will suit but others in this line-up may have more potential.

Front-runner; C&D record reads 111244, albeit Arctic Voyage beat her 11l here in July and she finished 27l fourth in this race last year; back on her last winning mark, but vulnerable to less exposed types.

Multiple hurdle winner over 2m-2m1f who is 1-6 on turf in this code (1m4f win on soft); below her best in both codes across her last two starts but if able to reproduce her Ripon effort from mid-June (1m4f, good) then she could come into this over a shorter trip but a much stiffer track.

Seven-time hurdle winner who is 1-11 on the Flat; faded back over hurdles at Newton Abbot three weeks ago but she was runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month, and that was a bold bid after wind surgery; has claims on that form and she's in the mix back in this sphere.

Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best.

Smart handicapper on the Flat; a tad disappointing so far over hurdles given his ability but was close up in a C&D handicap three months ago when a stronger pace would have suited; could yet raise his profile in this discipline; 2lb out of the weights.

Form & Verdict
Fair Flat racer who has improved with experience over hurdles and was seemingly relaxed by first-time hood when winning a Worcester maiden (2m, good to soft) last month; that form has recently been given a good boost by the runner-up and this fellow could have a lot more to offer in handicap hurdles.
