Lookaway
Useful hurdler (front-runner) who won a match race on chasing debut last November and was a very respectable third in Cheltenham Grade 2 (2m, good) later that month; returned to hurdling with game effort in defeat in October, after a layoff, and could take some catching if he gets into a good rhythm.

Kotmask
Bettered low-key seasonal debut when creditable fifth in valuable Ascot handicap (2m1f, good to soft) last month; runs that track well and may not be seen to quite the same effect here but still enters calculations in this easier race; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Mighty Bandit
Versatile 5yo who won on the Flat during the summer and belied 50-1 odds when keeping on well for creditable C&D (good to soft) second on last month's chasing debut; obvious contender if in similar form again.

Uncle Phil
Very well handicapped on old front-running form for Willie Mullins but has looked out of sorts on all three starts for new stable this autumn (held up in rear); might benefit from a return to more positives tactics but has much more to prove than the others in this line-up.

Torneo
Took well to fences last season (two wins) and returned from break with two seconds this autumn, latterly when losing out only by a neck at Cheltenham (2m, soft); has to take recent 4lb rise on the chin but can make his presence felt again here.

Highlands Legacy
Came from the rear to make winning chase debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October and bettered that performance when close second at Aintree (2m, good to soft; form working out very well) last month; probably still well handicapped after latest 3lb rise; good chance.
