11st 11lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Prolific winner over hurdles; just as good over fences and holding his form well, beaten off only on run-in when second at Leicester (2m6f; stays 3m1f well) four weeks ago; handles any ground; leading contender.

11st 5lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Prolific winner over hurdles; off the mark over fences at the seventh attempt at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) when fitted with first-time cheekpieces in January, and matched that level when runner-up at Newbury the following month; can make his presence felt again but he's never won off a mark this high.

11st 6lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Prolific winner over hurdles; it was in a lower grade when getting off the mark over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) but that was fairly comfortable and it was his first time in cheekpieces; off 5lb higher he can make his presence felt.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Prolific winner over hurdles; mixed results in six races over fences but this is easier than Haydock last time and he did return with an encouraging fourth on reappearance at Cheltenham (2m4f, good); won at up to an extended 3m1f over hurdles; respected in the new cheekpieces.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

0-5 over fences with mixed results but he was an encouraging fourth on reappearance at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; won at up to an extended 3m1f over hurdles and this 7yo may be able to build on his Cheltenham run; handles a variety of ground.
