Record of 3-13 over fences; 2-2 over C&D, namely good-ground wins this spring; below par at Fontwell in hat-trick attempt but has possibilities back here; admittedly yet to score above Class 5.

Four-time chase winner on good ground this year (2m7f-3m1f); current mark is probably not beyond him but he needs to bounce back from two lesser efforts last month.

Four good-ground chase wins this year, the latest from the front at Worcester (2m7f) last month; didn't fire at Perth a fortnight ago, though, and needs to kick on again to overcome this mark.

J: Harry Reed

Made all for clearcut success at Worcester (2m7f,) last month and has now won four good-ground chases this year; should also be suited by this right-handed track but latest 6lb rise might leave him vulnerable.

Achieved nothing on return from layoff last time but may well prove resurgent returned to Hereford with the outing under his belt, being 3-3 here (2m/2m5f); new trip is the question mark.

2-21 over fences and hard to predict, as recent efforts illustrate; returned to form over C&D in July before a heavy defeat six days later, which admittedly may have come too soon; given a break since but his inconsistency remains a concern.

Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark.
