    Verdict
    Dual winner last autumn and proved as good as ever when runner-up in the Martin Pipe. Shaped as if retaining all ability when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Shortlist material.

    Verdict
    Progressive last season and made his second start in handicaps a winning one when taking 20-runner race at Aintree (20f). Placed in another big-field handicap at Punchestown next time (despite late mistake) and it's hard to know where his ceiling lies returning from 7 months off.

    Verdict
    Unbeaten in bumpers and got back on track in a first-time tongue tie when winning a 17f Aintree novice on final start for Nicky Henderson in May. Game when making winning return in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 22 days ago and should be in the mix again.

    Verdict
    8-y-o who boasts a good strike rate and proved himself better than ever when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle (12/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, good to firm) 56 days ago. 6 lb higher here but should go well again.

    Verdict
    Irish point winner who progressed when completing a soft ground-double in a Newbury novice in February. Out of depth in Grade 1 next time and down the field in the Greatwood on his return, so needs step up in trip to get him back on track.

    Verdict
    Quick to make into a fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner for Laura Morgan last season. Caught the eye under a patient ride for his new yard when fourth at Bangor on return but never looked like building on that promise when down the field at Newbury last week.

    Verdict
    Looked a good prospect when landing 2m4f Aintree maiden hurdle last October. Went off at long odds and seemingly given a considerate reappearance after an 11-month absence when fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) last month. This should reveal more up in trip.

    Verdict
    Resumed winning ways in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor in May and not far off that level when third from 4 lb higher at Newton Abbot 3 weeks later. Career best when runner-up at Plumpton (20.5f, good, 16/1) 19 days ago and is respected despite his advanced years.

    Verdict
    6-y-o enjoyed a fine 2024/25 season, winning 3 times including the Morebattle at Kelso and Scottish Champion Hurdle on final start at Ayr (2m) in April. Perhaps rusty when down the field in the Greatwood last time and market may prove best guide here.

    Verdict
    Smart and likeable hurdler who showed himself to be every bit as good as ever when landing the 4-runner Ballybin Hurdle in game style at Fairyhouse in April 2024. Off since next start and probably worth watching on return now aged 12.
