Lightly raced 2m4f point winner who ran okay when fourth of six on recent stable/seasonal debut at Kelso (2m, soft); his dam is a half-sister to Grand National winner Mon Mome and the step up in trip could suit.
11yo who has shown some good form this autumn, placed twice in a row at Perth (3m, good) then fifth of 14 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft); he might not be far away.
8yo who failed to threaten in his three novice hurdles but those were over 2m and he could be a different proposition now up in trip for his handicap debut, having won two 3m Irish points in early 2024.
Twice finished second in the spring (3m3f/2m6f, good) and kept on for fourth of seven at Wetherby (3m, soft) 12 days ago; consistent and holds place claims but he's 0-28 which tempers win-only enthusiasm.
Runner-up here (2m4f, good to soft) in February and reappeared with fifth of 15 at Carlisle (2m4f, good) in October; however, tailed off at Kelso since and this 10yo is without a win since February 2023; unproven at 3m.
Stayed on well to win at Hexham (2m4f, good) in October on second handicap start and runner-up at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) subsequently; this 5yo could continue to progress and he's high on the list.
5yo who is on a handy mark on form as recent as May but was no match for the first three when fourth of 11 here (2m4f, good to soft) ten days ago and is now 0-10 over hurdles; a doubt about whether he'll stay this far.
0-11 over hurdles and has something to prove on slow ground but this 5yo is on a competitive mark on his best form in the spring (2m4f/3m2f, good) and he could improve for his comeback run at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft).
