'3-3 since upped to this sort of trip in November and an obvious one for the shortlist'

'Pulled up on all four appearances in 2022; big leap of faith needed to support him here'

'Ran well for a long way when fifth at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and remains lightly raced'

'Placed all four starts since breakthrough win in October; likely contender again'

'Ran well on handicap debut but below that form twice since; returns from 345-day layoff'

'Took big step forward when clear second of 17 at Ayr this month; major player'

'Not seen since small-field win in September but today's 3lb higher mark looks manageable'

'In good form over fences in early part of season; well beaten in two hurdles this winter'

'In good form under all codes in the autumn; back from 12-week break on workable mark'

'All three handicap runs in the autumn were respectable; needs to find something extra here'

'Made low-key handicap debut this month and clearly needs to do better'

'Made pleasing return from long absence in November; a player if able to build on that'

'Placed on one of his three hurdling starts; up in trip for handicap debut; can improve'

'0-10 over hurdles but ran big race in defeat at Ayr this month; each-way claims'
