Tumbled down the weights and shaped well, on debut for new connections, when third of 9 in handicap chase over C&D (good) 24 days ago, clear of rest. Cheekpieces back on. One for shortlist.

Disappointed at Southwell when last seen in June but had returned to winning ways at Fontwell (26f) previously and can't be ruled out here.

Sole success for current yard came over C&D in May and hasn't been in same form more recently. Others appeal more.

Yet to trouble the judge after 7 attempts, including tried in new headgear here last month. Tries a longer trip on switch to chasing and was successful in points so worth a second look in the market.

Prolific winning pointer who has reached the frame in all of her 5 chase starts under Rules, latest when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Stratford (22.6f, good, 6/1) 29 days ago. 3 lb out of the weights here but can make presence felt.

Added to his good record here when first past the post in handicap chase (26.1f) 14 months ago (later disqualified). Not seen since but returns on a workable mark and is worth monitoring in the market.

Dual chase scorer at Ludlow earlier this year but not in same form more recently, latest over hurdles at Worcester last month. Others more persuasive.

Failed to complete in points and poor form under Rules. Likely best watched from 3 lb out of the weights.

Rarely threatened over hurdles and went as if amiss when last seen at Market Rasen in March. Goes chasing with plenty to prove.

Runner-up twice at Cartmel in summer but below form since and others appeal more.

Not the most reliable and was unable to get his head in front last term. May need this outing back from 6-month absence. Cheekpieces back on.
