'Would appeal more on ground slower than good but comes here after two commendable efforts'

'Placed over C&D two starts ago but has not always looked wildly enthusiastic'

'Career-best form when scoring here in June; flopped badly last month; needs to bounce back'

'Second in two chases in May but below form when back hurdling last month; now 0-12'

'Came good in first-time cheekpieces in June; further progress is possible in headgear'

'Five-time hurdle winner but often reluctant to jump off and sometimes races lazily'

'Dominated from the front at Stratford last month; 7lb rise demands more here'

'Safely held on both starts this season; up in trip with blinkers tried today'

'Back in prime form lately (C&D winner last month); ought to be on the premises again'

'Pulled up on five of seven starts for this stable; headgear switched today'
