Form & Verdict
He can make mistakes and may be better over further, but he won two in a row last autumn (2m7f, good/good to soft) and was back on song when runner-up here (3m, good) three weeks ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained since); good third here (3m, good to soft) yesterday; could be in the mix.

6yo who made it 4-10 over fences when completing a double with his late thrust at Hexham (3m, good) last month; up 3lb but he's been as good as ever in his last two starts and he's strong stayer as this trip; key player.

Dug deep to resume winning ways at Perth (2m4f, good to soft; 15-8 favourite) over three weeks ago; that was his second run there in the space of 24 hours (third over 3m previous day); 4lb higher with blinkers applied, but Shane Fenelon's 5lb claim lessens that burden; key player.

Form & Verdict
Made all at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and placed on last two starts, most recently runner-up at Kelso (2m1f, good) last week; the step back up in trip poses a question but he's a leading player if seeing it out.

Two wins at Sedgefield last season, the second a 2m1f handicap chase (good); went up 6lb for that and was put up another 7lb for finishing 4l third from 8lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month (2m, soft); could go well despite that rise.

Progressive in cheekpieces, winning at Sedgefield in November (2m1f, soft; hurdles) and March (2m, good; fences); should appreciate going back left-handed after being soundly beaten at Carlisle last time but he's 8lb out of the handicap today and the cheekpieces are left off.

Form & Verdict
Point runner-up who improved upon his previous rules form when 5l second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) on his second chase/handicap start; this very lightly raced 7yo may have more to offer and could be involved.

0-7 under rules but ran his best race over fences when runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good) eight days ago in first-time visor (retained) when attempting to make all; 3lb higher in future chases and should run well.

Still unexposed under rules and was seemingly aided by new cheekpieces when second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was well held when third at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now tries a visor; forecast rain probably not ideal.

Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works.
