Winner at Carlisle three starts back and only other win came over C&D but struggled off her revised mark since her most recent win and needs to prove she can still mix it from this high in the handicap.

Very lightly raced and quite possibly not been the easiest to train. Sole win in 13 starts under rules came at Cartmel back in 2015 and not looked like getting his head in front since.

Cost just £600 at Ascot in November 2016 having raced on the Flat for a couple of trainers with little promise (rated 39) but has shaped with more promise in three hurdles starts. Needs to build on those efforts now but not dismissed after placing at Sedgefield last time.

Winner here last month having looked short on ability when trained in Ireland. 8lb rise is fair and he scored with plenty in hand. Can't be dismissed having proven himself over C&D and in the conditions.

C&D winner who has worked his way down to an attractive looking mark again after several disappointing efforts this year. Hit and miss type but can't be ruled out off a fair mark if he's on a going day.

Multiple soft ground winner in France but been very disappointing on four starts on these shores. Will need more relief from the handicapper and softer ground to become of interest.

C&D winner off a higher mark last year and signs he's working his way back to form on his most recent efforts. Could go well.

Three-time winner on the Flat but you have to go back to 2013 to find his most recent success in that sphere. Threatened to get off the mark here in September so not completely ruled out and not disgraced here last month.

Four-time C&D winner and useful on his day but losing run goes back nearly three years now and likely to struggle from out of the handicap.
