Returns from a spell. Only appeared once when last in work and finished second in the G1 Sefton Novices Hurdle novice hurdle (4950m) at Aintree, beaten 1.75 lengths. Reliable type with five jumps wins to his name. Definite winning chance.

Finished eighth when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (4780m) at Musselburgh, with today's rider Callum Pritchard aboard. Has the ability to test the top fancies.

Was at long odds last time in a hurdle (3300m) at Newbury but failed to finish. Hard to make a decent case.

Resumed after a spell last start with a modest fourth in a hurdle (4620m) at Exeter. Second-up record reads well, with two wins and one placings from three runs. Has ability and strips fitter. Worth including.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (4100m) at Newbury, beaten 1.3 lengths. Reliable type with four jumps wins to his name. Sure to feature on his best form.

Returned from a 754-day spell last start with a strong win in a hurdle (3980m) at Wincanton. Can continue the bright start to the campaign.

Back today after a break of 11 months. Impressed last preparation with two wins from five starts, finishing it off with a eighth in a hurdle (4900m) at Aintree. Prepared to watch this time.

Back from a 69-day break. Finished off last campaign when fourth in a hurdle (5000m) at Carlisle, beaten 17 lengths. Could pose a serious challenge.

Missed the frame two back in a hurdle (5000m) at Carlisle. Bounced back last time to fill a minor placing in a hurdle (5100m) at Catterick, beaten 1.3 lengths. Set to continue the resurgent form.

Talented jumper who eased out of the race two starts back. Put all that behind him last time when he saluted in a hurdle (5000m) at Warwick by a neck. Only needs to jump well to be right in the finish.

Finished ninth two runs back in a steeplechase (6100m) at this track then he did not finish the race in a hurdle (4800m) at Ffos Las last time out. Won't find this easy.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (4700m) at this track, finishing seventh when partnered by today's jockey Freddie Gingell. Key runner - don't underestimate.

Not setting the world on fire recently. Two runs ago clocked-in seventh in a hurdle (4670m) at Uttoxeter. Didn't bounce back when he took a tumble last start in a hurdle (4860m) at Haydock Park. Big task ahead.
