Lightly-raced 6-y-o who confirmed his handicap debut promise when getting up late over 2¼m here in late-June (third and fifth winning subsequently). Still on a lowly mark, however, he's far from a bombproof conveyance (can jump sketchily and hasn't been the easiest train).

Versatile performer in Ireland. Decisively capitalised on falling mark to open his account for current yard here (2¼m) last time, not for catching under another attacking ride. Runner-up a winner subsequently, and he's still potentially well treated on the best of his Irish form.

Useful performer on the Flat. Remained in top form since making the most of a good opportunity here (2¼m) on comeback. Clear of the rest when 1½-length second to one that ran up to its best at Fontwell last time. Makes appeal for yard operating at 35% strike rate so far in September.

Some creditable efforts in defeat earlier this season. Bounced back to open his hurdling account in decisive fashion here (2¾m) 11 days ago, when plainly suited by the emphasis on speed up in trip. May prove vulnerable back down in distance under a 7-lb penalty, in what looks a better race.

Best efforts to date both at Worcester, formerly chasing home a couple of next-time out winners in 2m maiden last summer. Back to form with a bang when capitalising on a much-reduced mark in 2½m handicap there 8 days ago. Will take all the beating under a 7-lb penalty if in the same form.

Won 3 small-field chases last season. Off since finding less than looked likely in a similar event at Plumpton in late-May. Back over hurdles for first time in 18 months and has at least gone well of a similar break previously.

Lightly-raced 4-y-o. Didn't look short of speed when 7 lengths fourth of 9 in Exeter juvenile run at a stop-start gallop in March, making more impact than previous 2 hurdle starts. Yard's first jumps runner since late-May and needs more again to defy her opening mark.

Went the right way on the Flat in Ireland (winner up to 1¾m). Highly tried/no impact in juvenile hurdles last season. Opening mark potentially lenient on his Flat form, though does have an 8-month absence to overcome.

Course regular who has backed up his breakthrough success here (off 1 lb higher) with a handful of creditable placed efforts. Wasted no time in getting back to form when 4 lengths third of 9 at Stratford (2m) latest, enhancing a fair record under this jockey.

Strong traveller who capitalised on a much-reduced mark/snapped a long losing run at this track (2¾m) in July. Has often flattered to deceive since, for all he wasn't disgraced in the face of a troubled passage when beaten 10 lengths in Stratford selling handicap latest.
