Posted a career best when easy winner at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) in February; that was just his second crack at 2m4f and he's open to further improvement at this trip; could have big say if conditions suit (has won on soft but said to have appreciated the less testing surface last time).

Won competitive handicap at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last November and has never shone at Cheltenham, where he was soundly beaten last time out in January (2m4f, soft); has to prove he stays this far but he's only six and remains open to improvement for top yard, including on the stamina front.

Prominent racer who posted easy wins on his first two starts last season, at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) then Haydock (3m1f, good to soft); could return to form today following a break but he has to leave last season's final two runs well behind and remains 7lb higher than for his last win.

Won two competitive handicaps last season (2m4f, soft/good to soft) and solid fourth off this mark at Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) when last seen; in the mix if at the top of his game, and trainer's horses often go well fresh, but this fellow has tended to improve for his reappearances.

Last season's hat-trick came in mares' novice chases (2m3f/2m4f) and she was tailed off against males at the Cheltenham Festival; this is another hot race but nowhere near as tough as last time and she beat some useful yardsticks during her winning spree; has won on heavy-good to soft; respected.

Prominent racer who made it four wins (1m7f-2m4f, soft/good to soft) from his last five starts when scoring on reappearance at Kelso; this 9yo carries top weight in a much hotter race today but he keeps finding the necessary improvement to carry on winning and it's possible he'll do the same here.

Back from a break and wind surgery when good third over hurdles here (2m4f, soft) last November; well handicapped on that form and now returns from another wind op, while he's had only four chase starts and there could be better to come in this sphere; yet to convince over fences, however.

Prominent racer who has won three times (2m-2m4f, good-soft) since making debut for this yard last November, posting a career best two starts ago; however, having gone up the weights he was only fourth of six to Nuts Well at Kelso last time and is probably vulnerable once more today.

Solid form in Grade 1 and Grade 2 novice chases over 2m4f earlier this year and at today's weights he's closely matched with Itchy Feet judged on his second to that rival at Sandown; won here over hurdles and best form is on soft/good to soft; could go well on reappearance.

Won at Stratford (2m5f, good) in August and made all to score by a neck at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) early this month; up 4lb in a hotter race today but clearly thriving and his race-fitness is a plus.

Ex-Willie Mullins; won Grade 1 novice hurdle here in 2016 and 2m4f Grade 1 novice chase at Cheltenham Festival in 2017; form went downhill, even allowing for last August's chase win at Galway; very well handicapped on old form and it's possible the excellent Sandy Thomson can help him tap back into that ability, but he might be best watched on stable/seasonal debut.
