Form & Verdict
Front-runner who returned from seven-month break with 7l win in first-time visor over C&D (good to firm) last month; only 3lb higher than for that success but he failed to repeat the form when a remote fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good); that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Two wins over 2m6f on good to firm at Stratford in the summer (both with a visor); beaten when coming down three out on same track last time (2m3f); return to this longer trip should suit.

11st 5lb

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Front-runner who is 2-3 since fitted with a visor this season, with both wins gained over 2m6f here (good to firm); may not have things all his own way today and this drop back in trip is probably not ideal but further progress is not out of the question.

Form & Verdict
Made it 4-15 over fences when forging clear to win by 9l at Fakenham (2m5f, good) last month; that was in a small field but he hit a personal best with that success and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected.

In good form at about this trip over the summer and he wasn't far away over this C&D in July but has something to find with Sure Touch on their form here last October and looks to have his share of weight now.

J: Jack Quinlan

T: Ben Case

Consistent chaser who was better than ever in dominating a small field at Fakenham two runs back (2m5f185yds, good); didn't run badly in defeat last time and off a light weight he could have a part to play.

Form & Verdict
Point and dual hurdle winner who made 2-7 in fences when landing the odds in a mares' handicap at Worcester (2m4f, good; tongue-tie added) 23 days ago; jumped well under a positive ride in that race and she's a big player off only 2lb higher here.

Races prominently and she's not the only one; 2-9 over fences but was put in her place by Merely A Detail at Fontwell four weeks ago (first run after another wind operation); perhaps placed at best.
