Successful twice over hurdles including in a seller at Sedgefield in January. Finished runner-up to Mr Snoozy when sent off favourite for a similar race here last time out and interesting in the same grade here.
Defeated today's rival Mr Snoozy when winning a selling hurdle here on debut for this stable last month. Finished 24L fifth when sent off favourite at Market Rasen last weekend and has cheekpieces fitted for the first time today.
Winner off a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield over 2m1f in November. Best effort since came when 5L runner-up in a selling handicap at Catterick last time out and interesting again here.
Won just one of his 35 starts but run some solid races this season. Finished 9L third over 2m4f at Sedgfield last month and has his first start in a seller since December 2012 as he seeks a first win in over four years.
Only victory in 38 outings came in a selling race over C&D three years ago. Well beaten of late however and looks likely to struggle in this contest.
Useful horse a few years ago and achieved a peak rating of 140 in 2014. Beaten 6L when third over an extended 1m7f in a handicap chase at Catterick in January but well beaten at Newcastle over this trip subsequently and likely to prove hard to beat reverting to hurdles.
Useful hurdler in Ireland a couple of years ago but disappointing this season. Finished last of three in a claimer at Lingfield on the AW last time out. Looking for his first win over hurdles since winning on debut for Gordon Elliott in December 2014.
Failed to complete on each of her last six outings including when pulling up in first time hood and blinkers last time out at Newcastle in January. Looks likely to struggle in this.

Forecasts
Mister Spingsprong (5/6), Ballyrock (7/2), Mr Snoozy (4/1), Newstart (5/1), Stilo Blue Native (7/1), Vercingetorix (14/1), Copt Hill (28/1), Exit To Freedom (50/1), Coolanure (200/1)
MISTER SPINGSPRONG reverts to hurdles for the first time since his days as a novice back in 2014 for this selling event. The useful chaser ran well at Catterick on his penultimate outing in a race that suggested he retains enough of his ability to take a race of this nature. Ballyrock is another with a decent rating going into this contest and he is taken to claim second with the ex-Irish Vercingetorix capable of claiming third in this.
