In good heart over hurdles in the autumn and picked up where he left off after a 7-month break when landing 11-runner handicap at Southwell in June. Heavy defeats over both sets of obstacles since, though. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Dropped a long way in the weights and took a big step in the right direction when runner-up on the back of a breathing operation at Stratford 3 weeks ago. Stays this far and now looks well weighted given he's back in form.

Struck twice last autumn but made a tame comeback at Newcastle 6 weeks ago and unseated at Market Rasen next time. Others preferred.

Won twice over fences last season but prone to mistakes over both sets of obstacles and not in top form over timber in May/June.

Capitalised on a drop in grade when resuming winning ways at Hereford (25f) last autumn but has struggled since. Mark in freefall as a result but could only consider if backed in a change of headgear.

Won this race a year ago and better form when hitting the frame twice after from revised mark. Disappointing at Ludlow but could have more to offer this season and clearly very capable fresh. Tongue tie on.

First run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon when respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) a month ago. No surprise were she to build on that.

Modest maiden who has shaped with little encouragement all 5 outings for current yard.

Added to patchy record when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good). Off over 2 years. First run for yard after leaving Graeme McPherson.

Third sole start between the flags in February but little in the way of promise in her qualifying runs. Hopes rest on switch to handicaps and marked step up in trip.

Forecasts

Zafar (11/4), Fine By Me (16/5), Camilla's Choice (4/1), Rostello (17/2), Tommydan (17/2), Ernesto (10/1), Oneway Express (16/1), Balkotic (20/1), Cast In Grey (28/1), Dynali (66/1)

Verdict

FINE BY ME won this race last year and, given the yard he represents, fitness is no concern on return from 9 months off. Zafar returned to form at Stratford 3 weeks ago and is a threat, along with Camilla's Choice.
