Form & Verdict
13-race maiden, including three runs over fences, but showed more when travelling well for a long way last time, failing to stay 3m2f; needs to build on that and the drop back in trip is a plus; usually claimer ridden but not today.

10st 5lb

J: Paddy Hanlon

T: Paul Nicholls

Came good over fences with back-to-back C&D wins in July but was firmly put in his place when runner-up to Thickthorn Tom here in August; faces a stiff task from 8lb out of the weights.

11st 10lb

J: Paddy Hanlon

T: Paul Nicholls

Failed to complete in two of his first three chase starts but he's really got his act together with comfortable wins over C&D (good to firm) in his last two runs; up another 8lb but that was an emphatic success last time and he's open to more progress; key player.

12st 1lb

J: Paddy Hanlon

T: Paul Nicholls

0-9 as a hurdler but only his fourth run over fences when making light work of The Gypsy Davey over C&D (add 23yds) six days ago; penalised accordingly but Paddy Hanlon's claim takes care of 5lb of that.

8 yo Gelding

OR: 97

Form & Verdict
Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark.

J: Adam Wedge

2-21 over fences and hard to predict, as recent efforts illustrate; returned to form over C&D in July before a heavy defeat six days later, which admittedly may have come too soon; given a break since but his inconsistency remains a concern.

Dual chase winner from 20 attempts over fences; returned to form when second to It's A Breeze here last week where he wasn't unlucky despite some late interference; should run well with a repeat, but can be inconsistent.

9 yo Gelding

OR: 100

Form & Verdict
Only one win from 18 runs over fences but he tends to run his race and has plenty of placed efforts to his name; below par when third off this mark over C&D last month and now wears a refitted tongue-tie; could quickly return to form.

11st 4lb

J: James Bowen

T: Nick Scholfield

He's produced a good body of work since joining Nick Scholfield, including a 3l defeat of Depalma over 3m at Bangor earlier this month; he's 14lb higher than that day but latest narrow defeat at Kelso was no backward step (3lb lower; 2m5f, good to firm); stays this far.

Made all by 3l at Bangor (3m, good) on September 4 and won easily from the front against two rivals at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last week; under a penalty he's just 4lb higher than last time; could be tough to beat.

Form & Verdict
Made it 2-4 for this stable when winning a 2m1f handicap hurdle here in May and followed that with a respectable second off 5lb higher back here a fortnight later; has plenty in his favour on this chase debut.

Bounced back from a disappointing chase debut to win a steadily run match on return to hurdles here (2m2f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last month and built on that when runner-up to a progressive rival here (2m1f) last time; may have more to offer back up in trip.

Bounced back from disappointing chase debut to win steadily run match race on hurdle return here (2m2f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and his form is generally progressive; ought to give a good account.

Made a good start for this stable, winning two of his first four starts over hurdles, before pulling up on chase debut when clearly not taking to the discipline; reverts to hurdles with the tongue-tie back on and better can be expected.
