Comment: Made the frame on all four hurdling starts since cheekpieces were fitted in February (2m3f-3m) and also ran well in first-time blinkers (retained) on recent chasing debut; suited by this track and still unexposed over this sort of trip; likely contender on return to hurdling.

5/1

Comment: Veteran who finished well to score from off the pace at Worcester (2m, good) last month, after a layoff; will be fine over today's longer trip but his overall record in recent years is not compelling.

Comment: Made quite promising start to chase career in spring but now reverts to hurdling after lesser effort last month; all recent form is over 3m but she can cope with today's drop back in trip and her current mark is workable.

Comment: Useful in his prime but it's over two years since his latest win and he failed to build upon a fairly encouraging reappearance run (over C&D) when running a lacklustre race at Uttoxeter in May; needs the the first-time blinkers to perk him up today.
