Form & Verdict

Left previous form well behind when making a winning return from an absence on chase debut over C&D (good to soft) 16 days ago, when upped considerably in trip; 7lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him if in the same form here; respected.

Former maiden pointer who showed modest form over hurdles; better over fences, winning two handicaps at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) from two starts, the latest by 9l last week; has a 7lb penalty; contender.

Form & Verdict

Irish point winner; 11-race maiden under rules but best effort yet on second start over fences when a close third at Warwck (3m, good) in May, just failing to sustain his challenge having travelled well into the race; had wind surgery since; a player off the same mark; handles soft.

Maiden hurdler but this point winner has started well over fences, having a wind op before a very good second of seven in 3m2f Fontwell handicap two weeks ago; winner has gone in since so he's firmly in the picture off the same mark.

Form & Verdict

Held narrow lead before last-fence fall over C&D in May and also ran well over hurdles in June but has suffered two heavy defeats since returning from a break, including behind Instant Gambler over C&D last time; not entirely dismissed but has something to prove with blinkers added.

Form & Verdict

Maiden hurdler who has looked a different proposition over fences, winning one of his four starts and placed on two other occasions (2m4f-2m5f), latest when a staying-on second at Newton Abbot; goes back in trip and has obvious form claims; handles most ground.

Form & Verdict

Irish point winner; 0-8 over hurdles but has posted a couple of encouraging efforts recently, including when a staying-on fourth over 2m5f here in August; reverts to fences off the same mark and should stay this far but needs to be forgiven a poor effort when pulled up on chase debut in June.

Irish point winner in spring 2023; not beaten far when eighth on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m3f, good; wore cheekpieces) in April but pulled up twice since (chase/hurdle; blinkers tried last time), and it takes a leap of faith to support him here.

Form & Verdict

1-16 under rules, with that win coming over hurdles (3m, good) in March 2023; frequently placed since, including over fences, and although recent form leaves him with a bit to prove he's capable of getting involved if finding some spark.

Form & Verdict

Has improved for the switch to fences and, although held when falling at the last at Newton Abbot last month, that was still an encouraging run; probably on a fair mark and has good claims if the first-time hood has a positive effect with Sean Bowen looking a positive booking.

Unseated rider on last month's handicap/chase debut but arguably looked the second best when a weakening fourth behind fast-improving rival here (3m2f, good) this month; remains unexposed under rules; contender if this drop back in trip suits.
