Very smart chaser who landed the Becher Chase at Aintree off 8 lb higher mark in December 2017. Didn't offer much on belated return for new yard in October and drops back in trip now.

Smart novice hurdler who showed plenty over fences during 2018, scoring at Uttoxeter prior to a good third in Cheltenham Grade 2. Fact he's been absent since is off-putting and market should guide.

Low-mileage sort who was well held in a 2-runner affair on return at Huntingdon in November. However, undergone wind surgery since and exploits last term suggests there is more to come in this sphere.

Talented sort who ran well when fifth in Grand Sefton at Aintree in December. Well held in Rowland Meyrick subsequently but he won this race 12 months ago and he's respected in first-time blinkers.

Useful chaser who shaped encouragingly after 23 months off when third of 17 in Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at Cheltenham in December. However, bounce back called for having ran below par at Sandown since.

Jumped well when winning at Sandown/Plumpton last term. Little impact over longer trips so far this season but is back below last winning mark and return to this trip will suit. Headgear applied.

ESPOIR DE GUYE dispelled a lesser effort when a creditable fourth behind subsequent Ascot Chase winner Dashel Drasher at Ascot last month and he's fancied to make a bold bid despite conceding weight all round. Precious Cargo, on the back of a wind op, last year's winner Springtown Lake and the potentially well-treated The Unit head up the dangers.
