Still in front when falling at Kempton (good) over 2m in May and tongue tie worn for the first time on that occasion is retained here. Likely to run well despite a 3lb rise in the weights.
Market Rasen (good-to-soft) handicap hurdle winner over an extended 2m in December. Disappointed twice since returning to the track this spring and interesting off a mark 2lb higher than for that latest success.
Dual winner in 2016 including in a three runner C&D novice hurdle on good ground in May. Well beaten in two starts since finishing runner-up at Ffos Las (soft) in February and worth a check in the market here.
Maiden after 11 starts but had just two starts since transferring from France. Well held in one run for David Pipe earlier this year and beaten 12L when favourite at Fontwell (good) on debut for current stable in April.
Successful three times in 21 career starts. Held in four runs since completing a double over 2m1f at Newton Abbot (good) in September last year. Had previous won over C&D and races off a mark 2lb lower than for that latest success today.
Winner three times already in 2017 including at Exeter (good) over 2m1f in April. Well beaten in two starts since and interesting if returning to form off a mark 4lb higher than for his latest victory.
Finished 11L third over an extended 2m at Stratford (good-to-firm) when last seen in action last month. Stepped up on two previous efforts for this yard on that occasion and worth a check in the market here.
Recording his third win at this track when scoring in a seven runner event held on good ground over this distance last time out. Disappointing at Stratford prior to that and interesting to see how he fares off a 4lb higher mark in this.
Still going well when falling three out at Perth (good) over 2m back in May. Had previously scored off a 6lb lower mark over an extended 2m at Taunton (good-to-firm) the previous month and likely to run well if that fall has had no ill effects on her.
Winner of a selling hurdle over an extended 2m2f at Stratford (good) on final start for Donald McCain back in April. Stepped up on disappointing debut for this stable when finishing 15L third over C&D on good ground last month and interesting following a 3lb drop in the weights.
Victorious over an extended 2m in a novice handicap chase held on good ground here last time out. Tongue tie worn for the first time on that occasion is retained here and interesting on his return to hurdles off just a 3lb higher mark.

DESERTMORE HILL carries bottom weight in this contest and can make a winning return to hurdling following a victory over fences last time out. The tongue tie worn on that occasion appeared to help and he can defeat top weight Utility who was running well when falling at Kempton last time out while A Montmartre, another faller last time out can claim third today.
