Dual winner (at up to 23.9f) on testing ground last season who posted respectable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) on return 36 days ago. 1 lb lower now and merits consideration.

Highly progressive last season but his run of good form has come to a shuddering halt, beating only one home in his last 3 outings. Engaged 2.50 Southwell Tuesday.

Back to winning ways at Carlisle (25f) in April and acquitted himself well in defeat since, latest when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (25.8f, soft) 25 days ago. Shortlist material.

Back from 7 months off when taking 6-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft) 31 days ago. 6 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards.

Returning from long absence when creditable second at Kelso (20.9f) in October and backed that up with good third of 9 in handicap hurdle at same course (25.8f, soft, 9/2) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Not taken lightly.

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped as if needing the run when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) on return 20 days ago. Step up in trip should suit and can't be discounted.

Still looking for first success but ran up to best when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) 26 days ago. This is a stronger contest, though, and she finds herself 5 lb out of the weights.

Ran with credit when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, good to firm) in October but is on a lengthy losing run and makes limited appeal from 7 lb out of the weights.
