5/1
Scored for the third time this year when he was successful at Perth (2m) back in May. Fell at the first hurdle at Wetherby (2m) last time out. Remains off the same mark. Can't discount to bounce back.

4/1
A four-time winner over hurdles but his last success was in November 2018. Was leading when he fell as the last hurdle on his latest appearance at Cheltenham (2m½f). Has gone up 3lb. One to consider.

11/4
Prevailed at Ludlow (2m) back in February but has been unable to follow it up since then. His last two appearances have come in Listed races, including latest when he was ninth of 15 at Ascot (1m7½f). One for the shortlist.

9/1
Has hit the frame twice on his last three outings. He was second of eight on his latest run at Newbury (2m½f), finishing 2¼L off the winner. Remains off the same mark here. One to think about.

10/1
Was a surprise 25/1 winner in a Listed contest at Market Rasen (2m½f) back in July. His form since then has been disappointing. He could only finish seventh of 15 at Ascot (1m7½f) last time. Has gone down 1lb in the weights. Others appeal more.

Scored on his debut over hurdles at Warwick (2m3f) and then finished second of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f) last time. Has since had wind surgery, while cheekpieces will be on for the first time here. Big player.

20/1
Was successful over this C&D for his first victory over hurdles. Has failed to beat a single rival in his two starts since, including his latest outing at Ascot (1m7½f) where he was last of 15 in a Listed contest. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Flashing Glance (11/4), Story Of Friends (3/1), Storm Rising (4/1), Nayati (5/1), Westbrook Bertie (9/1), Grapevine (10/1), Dream Machine (10/1), Capone (14/1), Vision Clear (20/1), River Bray (33/1)

Verdict

STORY OF FRIENDS has shown enough in his two hurdles appearances to suggest he is the one to beat here. This is his first run back since having a wind-op so expect a big performance. Storm Rising would have most likely won last time at Cheltenham if he had not fallen at the last so expect him to be in the mix at the finish here, while Flashing Glance will appreciate this drop down in level so take him to fill up the placings.
