Has been noted as having some quirks but hard to crab his recent career best efforts with a win at Uttoxeter and a second over further at Aintree in May. Up 6lb but proving progressive and very likely to be involved again.
Useful sort over hurdles who was strong in the market for her handicap debut at Fontwell (2m2f, heavy), travelled well. Given a stiff test last time (shaped better than final finishing position) but yet to convince she needs this far.
Fair hurdler for Paul Nicholls (130-rated) but well below that level in three starts for current yard. Best form has come at shorter than this and others look more convincing.
Won, and placed twice in three bumper's in the summer. Off the mark on debut over hurdles and a decent second at Warwick subsequently. Improved and won with any amount in hand up in trip at Huntingdon. On an attractive mark for handicap debut.
Irish raider, given a break following a run of consistent efforts came to an end in a Leopardstown novice handicap hurdle in December and again disappointed on May reappearance. Others preferred.
Well tried at Plumpton on reappearance and a good third at Warwick subsequently. Up significantly in trip off a 1lb higher mark and didn't seem to see it out on his previous try. Has the form but stamina questions to answer.

Full Bore (5/2), The Sweeney (10/3), Mister Universum (9/2), Duhallow Gesture (9/2), Court Tycoon (9/2), Zubayr (6/1), Forecast (7/1)
FULL BORE has a very progressive profile and has a lot more to offer at this trip on handicap debut. The Sweeney rates as the main danger and is also on an upward curve following a comprehensive win. There's little between the pair while Forecast is another moving in the right direction and heads here very much in form.
