'Improving 6yo on a four-timer and he might well improve again for this longer trip'

'Well held in two beginners' chases and this place will test his technique'

'Collective rise of 13lb was a likely factor in him coming up short in a Class 3 last time'

'His win in this two years ago was the first leg of a hat-trick; back on a good mark'

'Beaten when unseating latest; at his best in dominating small fields on goodish ground'

'Unlikely to strip any fitter for latest run and perhaps best over shorter trips than this.'

'Form can be up and down and his record after a break isn't the best'

'Yet to win over fences but has threatened and he's on a good mark; considered'

'Runner-up in six consecutive chases last season; on a tough mark but stable in form'

'He's a thorough stayer who lurks on a dangerous mark; good jockey booking'

'Beaten at this meeting the last two years on returning from a break and others appeal more'

'Improving Irish chaser who ran as well as she was entitled to in a Listed last time'

'Won easily at Market Rasen but she's 10lb higher in a much deeper race this time'

'Stays 3m5f and needed every yard of the 3m2f to reel in the leader at Kelso; up only 2lb'

'Dual chase winner but hard draw upon too many positives from his last three runs'

'Peak RPR came over 2m5f and others might be stronger when it matters'
