'Absent since below-par chase run last summer and entitled to benefit from this outing'

'Remote when fourth in C&D novice last month; improvement needed on this handicap debut'

'Tailed off over C&D last month and now 0-14 over hurdles; has too much to prove'

'Pulled up on handicap debut at Stratford in May and difficult to enthuse over'

'Kept on steadily from rear when back over hurdles last time; may build on that effort here'

'Three-time hunter chase winner; on tempting hurdle mark but has become unreliable'

'Generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; others preferred'

'Never dangerous over C&D on last month's stable debut but that run came after a layoff'
