Landed 22f handicap at Stratford before creditable tenth of 17 in strong Cheltenham handicap in October. Has a good record fresh though didn't looks a natural over fences on debut 20 months back.

Fairly useful hurdler but form was patchy last season, running no sort of race when last seen in February. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut.

Without a win since 2017 and increasingly looks hard to catch right, just the one respectable run over hurdles last season. Back over fences now for new yard for the first time in almost 2 years.

11/1
Enjoyed a highly productive time over hurdles last season and left form of chasing debut well behind when second in maiden chases at Ludlow. Disappointed at Doncaster since but type to bounce back.

Improved again over hurdles last year, showing useful form, but yet to convince in 3 starts over fences so far. Still early days, however.

Fairly useful hurdler who scored at Taunton and Wincanton for Chris Down last season. Well held both starts since re-joining this yard though not disgraced in face of a stiff task on chase bow here.

Useful 12f winner on Flat and made a smashing start to his hurdling career, winning his first 5 starts. Not disgraced on chase bow at Uttoxeter on return and entitled to come on for that.

Fairly useful hurdler. Shaped as if still in form at Newbury (24.2f, good) when last seen, not knocked about. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut.

Fairly useful hurdler who ran a sound race on his return to timber at Southwell last month. Interesting to see how he fares now making a fairly early switch to fences.

COTSWOLD WAY proved a disappointment when last seen 7 months ago but he's one of the best of these over hurdles and has already proved he's just as good over fences. Pacify made a satisfactory start over fences at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago and should come on for that, while it's still early days over fences for Fox Pro, who is useful over timber.

  1. COTSWOLD WAY (IRE)
  2. PACIFY
  3. FOX PRO (FR)
