Won quite easily by 16l here (2m3f, good) in June and was very respectable fourth of 13 in much deeper race than this off new mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) later that month; suffered early mishap on latest outing but remains very much of interest.

Back on track since a wind op in March and came good over fences with 16l win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; also has form on soft) last month; ran well again when fourth of 13 over C&D a fortnight later and remains of interest. |

Looks to have responded well to a wind operation and he won comfortably at Fontwell (2m3f, good) to earn this 11lb higher mark; his new figure still falls shy of his hurdle rating so there's good reason to expect another big run from him. |

Left Dan Skelton after disappointing chase debut in May but travelled well for long way on first two starts for Tom Ellis (2m4f/2m1f, good) and is not yet fully exposed; possible if stamina holds out over new trip.

Sold out of Dan Skelton's stable after disappointing chase debut in May but travelled well for a long way before weakening into fifth at Bangor (2m4f, good) for new connections six weeks ago; interesting to see whether he can build on that performance over this shorter trip. |

Bumper winner; things haven't quite clicked for him over hurdles but he didn't do badly at Worcester in June on his return from an absence and he should be exploiting a low mark at some stage; in the mix. |

Close third when switched to blinkers at Stratford last time (2m3f, good; stayed on run-in) with Mystic Man 15l behind; races off his true mark here and has definite claims if the retained blinkers inspire as much again. |

Runner-up at Warwick (3m, good) in April, and toughed it out when deservedly off the mark over fences here (3m; beating Jean Genie by half a length) last month; 5lb higher - 1lb worse off with the runner-up - but should give another decent account. |

Low-mileage 6yo who launched chasing career with two pretty good 2m4f runs at Worcester last month; raced a bit too freely and was below that form when well-held fourth at Perth (3m, good) three weeks but might still have untapped potential over staying trips if/when he settles better. |

Unplaced all six hurdling starts but, following a long layoff and a wind op, shaped with more promise than eventual 43l defeat might suggest at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; might have needed that outing and is no forlorn hope if she takes well to chasing; 3lb wrong.
