Hinted at ability on a couple of occasions before getting off the mark at Taunton in February. Off 8 months and beaten by more than a lack of a run at Chepstow, but yard in better form now.
Dual Wetherby bumper winner who made successful start over hurdles at Worcester (2m) in October. Bit disappointing under penalty since but worth another chance given what had gone before.
Quickly reached a very smart level over hurdles, runner-up in a well-up-to-scratch Supreme prior to a decisive Grade 2 success at Aintree. Built for fences and will have learnt from opening chase run.
Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Fair winner at 12f on flat. 6th of 12 in minor event hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 5/6) 52 days ago, considerately handled. Stable in good form. May well do better
Successful 5-times when climbing the chasing ranks last term (including C&D). Good second after a minor blip at this venue over Christmas and just about the pick on these terms.
Smart dual bumper winner who overcame inexperience to score over C&D in October. Didn't need to improve to go in again at Towcester on Boxing Day and starts life in handicaps from a fair-looking mark.
Did very well over timber last term and promise on 3m Chepstow chase debut on return. Never going with much fluency over 20f at Wincanton since but better expected back at 3m in first-time headgear.
Justified market support and looked above average when making a winning bumper debut at Worcester in May. Conditions possibly against him at Uttoxeter on return. Makes hurdles debut.
Much improved fitted with blinkers, easy winner of handicap chases at Chepstow/Wetherby before ridden too aggressively when good third at former course latest. Probably has more to offer still.
Bumper form offered hope, and left behind previous hurdles efforts when a determined winner on handicap debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Bred to be suited by this trip, so likely there's more to come.
Posted a couple of fine efforts in big handicaps after winning first 3 starts over fences last season. Failed to fire both comeback outings this time around but dangerous if regaining sparkle.
Maiden point winner. Smart form in bumpers. 2/11, won 11-runner novice hurdle at Navan (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 53 days ago. Open to progress from debut. Yard also runs Measureofmydreams.
Runner-up in the Arkle in March who made a winning return to action in the Clonmel Oil in November. Acquitted himself well when fourth in last month's King George and the return to 2½m should suit.
Promise in 3 runs over hurdles and could be capable of a big showing on handicap debut stepped up in trip.
Completed a hat-trick on Flat/over hurdles in the autumn but has run moody races over hurdles the last twice.
Expensive Irish point recruit who won a Newton Abbot maiden hurdle in April. Possibly just needed run on recent Plumpton chase debut and expected to step up on that now. Tongue tied first time.
Smart hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Naas in January. 6/1, 28¾ lengths last of 8 to Lieutenant Colonel in Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown (24f, soft) 25 days ago, not persevered with once held.
5/1, below form 8th of 19 in Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury (26.5f, soft) 54 days ago. Yard having good spell. Should have more to offer.
Most impressive when opening chasing account at the fourth attempt in the mud at Bangor (20f) this month. Hiked up in the weights as a result, but potential to do better still.
Promise in 3 runs over hurdles and potential for better now handicapping over longer trip.
Useful novice hurdler last season but already much better over fences, winning twice at Cheltenham in the autumn and a good second to Ptit Zig in the Dipper there on New Year's Day. Shortlisted.
Took form up another notch when landing Greatwood at Cheltenham in November. Creditable efforts off revised mark twice since but bumps into couple of smart and progressive rivals here.
Smart novice hurdler last term (runner-up in the Supreme and decisive Grade 2 scorer at Aintree). Yet to fully convince over fences, but did get off the mark at Doncaster. The one to beat up in trip.
