Pounced late to win here (2m3f, soft) on his debut for this stable in February; not seen since decent fifth the following month at Taunton. Probably needs to be in peak form to win on his return.

Put some lack lustre efforts behind her when third here in March (2m1f, soft), but disappointed at around 2m4f in two further runs. Returns on a competitive mark, but still a tough enough ask after a break.

Unseated approaching the last when still going well at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in May last year. Only seen once since, and can be forgiven if needing this.

Good effort when runner-up on her handicap debut over hurdles at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last winter. Didn't appear to handle cut in the ground too well next time, so those conditions have to be a concern on her return.

Respectable effort when eighth of 16 over C&D (good) in the spring, but below par back here next time, and not seen since. More needed on this return from a summer break.

Returns from a seven-month absence, having run with credit at Exeter when last seen in March. If ready for this reappearance, she would have a chance of making the frame.

Out of sorts when last seen in June, and is 0-12 so far, but could give him a chance based on the best of last season's form. Market check.

Third over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month, and scored over fences back there last time (2m6f, soft). Still well treated on several pieces of form, but has an in-and-out profile and not sure he can be fully trusted.

Broke his duck over hurdles at the 11th attempt (first-time cheekpieces) over C&D in April. Up 2lb, but that plus this slower ground are of less concern than his fitness on this return from a summer break. Claims if he is fully tuned.

Decent effort at Plumpton last time, which came after a break. Drops 5lb, acts on soft, and step up in trip makes him of interest.
