3/1

Winner of an Ayr maiden hurdle last February and placed on 5 of his 9 starts over fences, including when good second of 6 in handicap chase at this course (15.9f, soft) 34 days ago. Should give another good account.

7/2

Got off the mark in this sphere at Sedgefield last month and improved on that when defying 10 lb higher mark (5 lb out of the handicap) in 3-runner handicap chase (19.2f, good to soft) at Catterick last month. Raised further 6 lb since but may be capable of better yet.

Form: 12-5211

4/1

Better chaser than hurdler but remains a long-standing maiden, creditable second of 4 (fitted with this headgear) in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, heavy, 11/4) 62 days ago. Returns to shorter trip now and looks sure to make presence felt again.

Form: 242-552

9/2

Posted best effort under Rules when second of 6 in handicap chase over C&D (soft, 4/1) 34 days ago, best work finish. Just 1 lb higher now and ought to go well again.

11/4

Made winning chase debut in 3-runner event at Cartmel in May. Proved inconsistent since, however, and arrives on back of disappointing effort at Wetherby last month.
