Getting long in the tooth now but was not far off his career-best form when clearcut winner at Kelso (2m5f, good) in September; will handle today's slower ground and is unexposed over this sort of trip; probably won't be far away.

Left Gordon Elliott after some disappointing runs last winter; tongue tied for new yard this term when both pulled up in September and back-to-form second at Ayr (3m) two weeks ago; seemed in charge at the final flight in the latter, which may explain the resort to cheekpieces this time; peak efforts on good or good to soft. |

Won over fences in cheekpieces in January (2m5f, soft) but returned from break with very disappointing run nine days ago and now switches back to hurdling in first-time blinkers; others look less risky.

Tailed off at Doncaster (2m4f, good) in March last time but he ran well on his three other starts last term, winning at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) two outings ago; in the mix if at the top of his game on this comeback. |

3-10 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls; didn't look wildly enthusiastic before eventually staying on for second at Newbury (3m, good) in February and was sold for £20,000 in the spring; interesting to see what new trainer can do with him.

Best RPR on soft; spent last season in the wilderness but he's well handicapped on the best of his 2020-21 novice form and, following wind surgery, revived sufficiently to finish third over 3m on last two outings (here and at Wincanton); needs to build on those but has each-way chance. |

Sprightly 12yo who won four times last season and added to his tally at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July; didn't fire on latest outing, though, and the likely slower ground here is not in his favour.

Seven-time hurdle winner, including stylish success in this race a year ago and Grade 2 career highlight at Haydock (3m, good to soft) in February; has developed a tendency to race rather lazily and never really got competitive on the Flat last month but still features prominently in calculations.

This race saw his worst performance last season but he won a C&D Grade 2 in February; failed to get competitive in his two runs (one Flat) this autumn, latterly when 7-4 favourite in a race he'd won the year before; that sees his usual cheekpieces replaced by a first-time visor. |

Excellent third in Grade 1 novice at 2022 Cheltenham Festival (3m, good to soft) but generally very disappointing since; not seen since 36l defeat in first-time blinkers (now removed) in May and needs to have been revitalised by six-month break.

Took form to new level when winning easily by 6l at Kelso (2m6f, heavy) last December then stayed on for very creditable fourth in major Sandown handicap (2m7f, good to soft) in February; good chance if judged on those exploits but has fitness to prove after nine-month absence.

Beaten a head at Musselburgh (3m, soft) and smooth winner of 12-runner race at Kelso (2m6f, heavy) later in December; the latter was a career best but 7lb rise demands another; 5lb-claiming rider is recruited. |
