Flat/hurdle winner who made a successful chase debut at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last month and ran with credit when fourth of ten at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) 15 days later; has room for improvement in the jumping department and dropping in trip may not be ideal.
Won Ascot novice hurdle (2m, good) in November last year and has run consistently well in defeat since (underwent wind surgery before latest start); market may be helpful now switched to fences.
Three-time hurdle winner who made a creditable chase debut when second of four finishers at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) this month; should be all the better for that first outing in 256 days and one for the shortlist.
Hurdle winner who beat one other finisher on his second chase start at Leicester (2m, good) this month (leader departed three out); not sure what the form is worth and now 4lb higher, but he is 2-2 in cheekpieces and has few miles on the clock.
Dual hurdle winner in the spring who has finished third in both chase starts, his latest effort in a first-time tongue-tie at Plumpton (2m1f, good) an improvement from his debut; not dismissed.
Winning pointer who showed little in a bumper and three hurdles, but back to form when making a successful chase/handicap debut at Warwick (2m, soft) last time; that form has received a couple of boosts since and he's a major player raised 6lb.
Two of her three wins over hurdles came here and she's 2lb lower than for the latest, but just ordinary efforts in two starts over fences and this trip looks a bit sharp for her now; cheekpieces are given a go.
