Resurgent this summer, scoring at Market Rasen at the beginning of the month before following up there 8 days ago. 10 lb higher in the weights now but he should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell but yet to get competitive in 6 outings for current yard, faring little better at Newcastle last month. Tongue strap on but he's opposable from another reduced mark.

Hasn't made much of an impact in 2 starts over hurdles so far but he scored on the Flat in April and has been handed a potentially handy mark now handicapping in this sphere. High on the shortlist.

Ended lengthy losing run over hurdles at Uttoxeter (20f) last summer on her debut for Fergal O'Brien but ended time with that yard poorly and is best watched starting out for her new stable after 9 months off.

Placed in bumpers at Down Royal. Hasn't achieved much in her 3 hurdle starts but may yet do better now switched to handicap company. One to note in the betting.

One win from 28 NH runs. 7/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal dropped markedly in trip.

Still yet to really convince as a hurdler and arrives after a spell of underhwelming efforts on the Flat. Hood/cheekpieces reapplied but others are preferred.

Yet to score over hurdles but arrives after a pair of positive efforts, most recently when third of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.1f, good) 14 days ago. Not discounted from out of the weights.

Showed nothing on his handicap debut here (16.6f, good) 16 days ago and has to be opposed again.

Poor hurdler offered little on chase debut last time (sole start for Paul Robson). Can't be fancied for new yard.

Well held in bumper and though there's been the slimmest sign of promise of in a couple of recent hurdles outings, he arrives here after a really poor effort at Cartmel and needs more to make the frame. Blinkers now applied.

BELVEDERE BLAST is thriving at present and should be capable of defying another rise in the weights to land the hat-trick. Lightening Company has won on the Flat since last seen over hurdles and is respected, alongside fellow handicap hurdle debutante Sunshine Girl.
