Goldwyn
Having his third start for this yard when winning a 15-runner maiden hurdle at Wetherby (2m, soft; 5-6) in March (runner-up has since won three times over fences); disappointing on handicap debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in May, but not dismissed if taking to fences after seven months off.

Great Samourai
Twice runner-up here (2m/2m4f) in the spring before off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May (placed horses both won two starts later); not seen since disappointing at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) the following month, but still a player on his earlier form.

Imperial Bede
Won easily off a 6lb higher mark on chase debut over C&D (heavy) in February, but his form gradually regressed afterwards; more like it when third of seven in a better race at Wetherby (2m3f, good) last month (form working out well) and respected if building on that.

Duo D'Enfer
Winning hurdler/chaser in France who was twice successful over fences for this yard at Sedgefield (2m1f/2m3f) last winter, but below form in his last three starts (one over hurdles); back off his last winning mark, but still looks vulnerable to younger rivals after eight months off.

Give Me A Boom
Showed ability in three of his four starts over hurdles at the start of the year, especially when runner-up in a maiden here (2m4f, soft) in March; makes his chasing debut after seven months off having undergone wind surgery in August; hooded last four starts but not today; market may be revealing.

Knockanore
Runner-up in his only completed point and just 1lb higher than for the latest of his two wins over hurdles, but well beaten in two starts over fences since returning from another absence last month; down again in grade but still has enough to prove.

No No Tango
Ex-Charlie Longsdon; in the frame in four of his six starts over hurdles and had been off 228 days and undergone wind surgery before fourth of seven on chase debut at Hereford (2m5f, good) a year ago; has been off again since; market useful on chase/stable debut (same owners).

Jasmin De Grugy
Transformed by the switch to handicaps and application of a tongue-tie over hurdles in the spring, completing a hat-trick over 2m4f; makes his chase debut after six months off from a 27lb higher mark than when the winning sequence began, but he has to be respected if returning in the same form.

Onewayortother
1-1 in bumpers, but his hurdles form rather regressed after returning a year ago; has finished third of five in both starts over fences and may have needed the run after six months off at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) 20 days ago; the step back up in trip may suit and he's not dismissed.

Maninsane
Bit of a mixed bag since winning off 11lb higher here (2m, good to soft) in March last year, his second of eight at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on his return last month (has a good record fresh) surrounded by lesser efforts; others are more convincing.

You Say Nothing
12lb lower than for the latest of his three chase wins at Ffos Las (2m, soft) in May 2023, but has been mainly disappointing this year; a resurgence is needed.
