Looking Splendid
Yet to manage better than fifth after three bumpers and three runs at about this trip over hurdles, all at huge prices except on debut; possesses some ability, though, and could be about to step up if there's much more market interest in him for this handicap debut.

Dalileo
Usually seen at Perth, where he's registered his only two wins over hurdles and has been running creditably this summer; respectable fourth of six in a division of this race last year.

Summergrounds
Game winner over this trip at Market Rasen (good) in May and creditable places both starts since; considered but probably needs a bit extra.

Double Powerful
Off the mark at the sixth attempt under rules when justifying support in a Fakenham handicap (2m4f, good) in March and he followed up in tidy style under a penalty at Market Rasen (2m5f, heavy) five days later; up another 10lb but he did look capable of better.

Starlyte
2-24 over hurdles, with both the wins in 2022; second off today's career-low mark at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in June but pulled up on all three starts since, so she does not look the percentage call.

Bathgate
Close third of five in maiden hurdle at Exeter (2m, good) in April on final start for Tom Weston; however, down the field for new stable in handicaps at Cartmel (2m1f; 33-1) and Stratford (2m2f; 22-1) this summer.

Captain Marco
Heavy defeats over hurdles on all five starts for Mitchell Hunt, in handicaps (3m and 2m7f; 28-1 for both) on last two occasions; back down in trip on this reappearance for new yard; needs a market check.

Pooch
Consistent form for Harriet Dickin this May-June, including in two handicaps (2m2f and 2m4f); had wind surgery before a lesser show at Stratford for new yard in August, perhaps stretched by 2m6f; wore cheekpieces last two outings; none of his form matches up to this mark.

Iolani
Veteran who scored over C&D (good) in September 2021 and registered his only win since in a selling handicap at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) this May; second here on penultimate outing shows he must still be considered, even though he was not so good at Perth 11 days ago.

Local Drama
Second in a maiden point in 2022; nothing solid to recommend him from his three novice hurdles (one in June 2023, two on heavy this January) but these are very early days and he needs a check on handicap debut.

Ivynator
Fair AW Flat winner but that was nearly four years ago; out of form this year on Flat and over hurdles.
