Went around in a hurdle (3200m) at this track last start but failed to finish the race at his first run since a spell. Might find this a bit too tough.

Did well to finish second two back in a hurdle (3200m) at Plumpton but could only manage fifth in a maiden hurdle (4400m) at Ffos Las last time, arriving 92 lengths behind the winner. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Sent out at long odds in a hurdle (3360m) at Exeter last time when eased out of the race. Hard to recommend this time.

Finished second but no match for the winner last time out in a maiden hurdle (3800m) at Taunton. Sure to make his presence felt.

10-year-old gelding who has been struggling for form since resuming, beaten 19L in a point to point (4800m) at Chaddesley Corbett most recently. Expect losing streak to continue.

Six-year-old gelding who has been thereabouts at the finish at each of his career runs to date. Looks close to getting off the mark and rates a leading player here.

Returned from a spell over two weeks ago in a maiden hurdle (4400m) at Ffos Las when he failed to complete the course. Looks to have the job ahead.

Finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a maiden hurdle (3900m) at Wetherby, with today's rider David Bass piloting. Before that first-up run he transferred to the C E Longsdon stable.

Comes here 13 days after a 44 length tenth first-up in a maiden hurdle (3900m) at this track at just his second race-day appearance. Facing a stiff test.

Fresh up here after making debut then heading back to the paddock. Was safely held at first outing when fourth and beaten 25 lengths in a bumper at Ffos Las. Has since switched yards.

Yet to find the frame in two runs this preparation. Resumed with a fourth in a maiden hurdle (4900m) at Haydock Park then was 38 lengths adrift in a maiden hurdle (4700m) at Uttoxeter two months ago. Likely to figure on his best form.

Gelding by Affinisea out of Rostellan. Nice profile and expected to measure up.

Failed to finish the race in a maiden hurdle (4400m) at Ffos Las last start following a fifth on the flat the run prior. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Sparingly-raced seven-year-old back from a spell of three months. Finished seventh in a bumper (3360m) at Exeter on debut then pulled up in a hurdle (3360m) at Exeter most recently. Others make more appeal.
