Irish point winner; 1-9 over hurdles but progressive overall and got off the mark over fences with a narrow success at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) nine days ago; leading claims, although a 7lb penalty does ask a stiffer question.

Won first two starts over fences (2m1f, good) and shaped just as well when reverting to hurdles off 13lb lower, finishing runner-up at Southwell this month; latest second, over fences at Perth 23 days ago, was perfectly respectable but his current mark looks demanding.

Launched chasing career with wins at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) and Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month, and also ran well when second over hurdles on Tuesday; evidently in very good nick but current chase mark asks a question of him, and today's forecast slower ground is probably not ideal.

A fair and reliable winning hurdler who advanced his form when going 2-2 over fences in 2m1f Plumpton handicap a week ago; reverts to hurdles off a 5lb lower mark here so merits serious consideration.

Form & Verdict
Fairly treated on the pick of his better efforts and they were not that far away; shaped with renewed purpose when a respectable fifth back over hurdles at Sligo a fortnight ago and a repeat of that performance back over fences would put him firmly in the mix.

A third win over fences at Stratford on Tuesday and he's 9lb lower for this return to hurdling (0-9); has to be of interest with trip/ground ideal.

Dual chase winner but has yet to match that level in three starts this year, including when seemingly not staying 3m at Hexham 24 days ago; drop back in trip should suit but he needs to stage a revival.

Both wins have come at Downpatrick (2m3f); plugged on to finish a modest second at Plumpton (2m1f, good; beaten 21l) 11 days ago; that should have given him confidence though - fell at Killarney prior - and this extra yardage could suit.

Form & Verdict
5-11 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and arrives on the back of a wide-margin success in a seller at Hexham (2m, good) 24 days ago; bought for £26,000 and commands major respect on chase debut for his new stable.

Free-going front-runner; signed off for Paul Nicholls with wide-margin success in modest selling hurdle last month and remains on a workable handicap mark but capitulated pretty tamely when well-held third of four in Plumpton chase (2m1f, good) for new stable three weeks ago; comes with risk.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Four hurdle wins at trips ranging from 2m-2m4f; was running well in handicaps in the autumn after chancing her arm over fences last September and this is a very winnable race given the favourable terms; strong claims for top yard that's 4-5 here.

Form & Verdict

Odds-on third in this race last year before comfortably making all in Stratford hunter chase (2m1f, good) in May; hasn't got near the latter form in eight starts since September however and latest pulled up, despite attracting some support, was a third non completion in a row; others look safer.

He was in better form when runner-up in this last year having won his previous race; very disappointing when pulled up back here just before Christmas and then unseated at Ludlow when 33-1; hard to trust right now.
