'Major player if judged on autumn form but not at best on last couple of outings'

'No better than respectable fifth of eight on last month's handicap debut; needs to step up'

'Only beaten about 10l in two 2m handicaps here this year but needs to find something extra'

'Second in a chase on stable debut but three heavy defeats have followed'

'Still quite lightly raced but has become disappointing; down the field here last month'

'Not at best when over fences in the autumn and not obviously well treated over hurdles'

'Has fitness to prove after layoff, and seems best at around 3m on good ground'

'Placed twice on AW since hurdle win in October but is not very consistent; ground a worry'

'Not seen since pulled up in Grade 2 novice in February 2023 but remains unexposed'

'Won twice in November; not in same form last month but further progress still possible'
