Comment: Off a vastly reduced mark and in first-time blinkers he was second over C&D a month ago, and has to go well should the headgear work a second time; that was on soft but he's fine on good.

Comment: Three hurdle wins include one over C&D (good); was off for the best part of two years but his second run back, when a staying-on third over C&D in July, was a lot better than his first; still without regular cheekpieces but seems likely to come on again and exploit a good mark before long.

Comment: Back in good form in recent months and kept on well to score at Stratford (3m2f, good) five weeks ago, getting off the mark over hurdles at 13th attempt; subsequent 4lb rise does not look excessive and Sean Bowen takes the ride here; high on the list.

Comment: Good second at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January but generally disappointing since, albeit his two 2m5f chase runs here this summer were respectable; needs to up his game on this return to hurdling and would appeal more on ground slower than good.

Comment: Beaten on his last 12 starts but has run well in defeat on all three starts this season (2m5f/2m4f), most recently here (good); he should be fine now back down in trip and he can be bang there once more.

Comment: Won twice over C&D last summer (soft/heavy) and not beaten far when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) this May following an absence; well beaten here (2m5f, good) last month and has something to prove on the forecast good ground, but he's not ruled out now back down in trip.

Comment: No longer the force of old and very inconsistent nowadays but battled well for narrow C&D (soft) win over Judicial Review last month, his fifth course success; also suited by good ground and recent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again.

Comment: Ended last season with two hard-fought wins at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when well-held fourth at Bangor (3m, good) in June but current mark demands a career-best performance and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal.
