Has been a fine servant to connections over the years, winning eight of her 27 races, but she was well beaten at Haydock (2m3f, soft) after a break and needs to show a good deal more than that just two weeks on.

Lightly raced 10yo, 4-16 under rules; won at Southwell (2m4f, good) in July and has since finished a creditable fourth over 2m in the Galway Hurdle and the Greatwood at Cheltenham; tends to travel strongly and has good prospects of making the frame again.

Six-time hurdle winner who was turned over at odds-on in all three chase starts last autumn; took a step back in the right direction when fourth of six to Mint Condition over hurdles at Bangor (2m4f, soft) on his reappearance and is now 6lb better off with that rival; not discounted.

One of the success stories of the season so far, winning two 2m novice hurdles at Uttoxeter and completing a hat-trick when upped to 2m5f on his handicap debut at Cheltenham; all of those wins came on good ground and he was a beaten favourite (though not disgraced) under more testing conditions back at Cheltenham (soft) last time; may not have finished improving yet.

Lightly raced 6yo, improving in leaps and bounds; won two 2m4f handicaps in the mud at Bangor, digging deep to defy an 8lb rise last time; today's race looks stronger but there's probably more to come from him and he's feared in his hat-trick bid.

Lightly raced for her age, three wins from ten starts; best effort last season when third of five at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in March; this race looks more competitive so she'll need to raise her game after a break.

Did well in juvenile hurdles last season, fourth in the Triumph at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) in March; faced a stiff task when 13l fifth of six over C&D (11-1) on his reappearance and may have better to come now tackling handicaps; stamina still to prove but he has possibilities.

Carries his head awkwardly but that hasn't prevented him showing a useful level of form over hurdles; best recent effort when second to big improver Main Fact at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in March; possibly failed to stay 3m at Newbury on reappearance; now fitted with cheekpieces.

Didn't really take to fences last season, even though he won at Ayr (2m, heavy); reappeared with narrow handicap hurdle win at Hexham (2m4f, good) in October, pulling well clear with a progressive runner-up, and is now 4-6 over hurdles; tends to be delivered late (hangs left) and could still have untapped potential.

Useful performer on the Flat and over jumps; having his first start for 854 days when 22l seventh of 18 in a warm handicap hurdle at Wetherby (2m4f, soft; 40-1), never better than mid-division; hard to pin down but no surprise if he comes on for the run, and worth monitoring in the market.
