Listed Flat winner as a 2yo and showed the benefit of his winter wind op when winning twice in good style over hurdles this summer; close second to Road To Wembley over C&D when upped in trip last month and goes on the shortlist, even though Harry Skelton appears to favour Down To Business.

Listed Flat winner as a 2yo and showed the benefit of his winter wind op when scoring in good style over hurdles at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) and here (2m, good) this summer; tries a new trip today; big player.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Useful Flat performer who made it third-time lucky over hurdles with a dominant display after wind surgery at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; just about sets the standard under a penalty and he could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strong contender.

J: Paddy Hanlon

T: John Joseph Hanlon

One-time useful AW handicapper but 0-8 over hurdles, though he went close at this level a couple of times over the summer; appeared to stay this sort of trip when a 5l third of ten at Downpatrick last time and looks sure to be involved.

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance.

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find.

Finished last in his only bumper and beaten between 15l and 36l in three maiden hurdles (2m2f-2m4f); hard to make a compelling case for him but he has shown something and this is weak.

He hinted at ability in two hurdle runs this spring following wind surgery, albeit beaten 25l and 15l, most recently when fourth of eight at Warwick (2m3f, good) in May; may be one for further down the line but has place claims.
