T: Mark Walford

Three wins during last season's first chasing campaign (3m/3m1f, soft/good to soft) and he was a very creditable fifth when bidding for a hat-trick in the Scottish National at Ayr (4m, heavy) in April; key player if resuming where he left off.

J: Jamie Hamilton

Three wins (wore cheekpieces for last two) and a second from his last four starts, all over about 3m/3m1f; unraced beyond that but there's a great deal about him which suggests that he won't really come into his own until handed a major test of stamina; he receives one today and, despite the step up in class, consequently makes serious appeal.

The furthest he's been was 3m2f when he rallied to win from Red Delta in a small field at Doncaster (soft; made most) in November; something amiss next time but he was back on song for second at Carlisle (3m, good to soft; probably effective on good) on latest outing, making it good runs on both his starts in cheekpieces; up 2lb but needs a close look.
