Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner (2m-2m5f, good) but yet to win in handicap company and was out of sorts in a light campaign last season; shaped as though the run may have been needed on last month's reappearance but remains with something to prove on recent evidence despite a further ease in the weights.

Form & Verdict
Dual 2m7f hurdle winner last year, latest success at Uttoxeter (soft) in November off 2lb lower; followed that with a solid effort in a Class 2 at Cheltenham; form has dipped since but recent return may have been needed and he's worth considering with that run behind him.

Form & Verdict
Came back to form in the autumn and gained a deserved success at Stratford (2m6f) in October, following that with two solid placed efforts off higher marks, latest at Hereford (3m2f) in November off 2lb lower and all on good ground; has a career-high mark to defy but is reliable and has gone well off a similar break before.

9yo who wasn't at his best in the summer, following some time off, but his fifth of 16 at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July last time was a step back in the right direction and he continues to edge down the weights; his course form figures read 212 and he could be a contender back here.
