'Scored over C&D in sole start this season and that form is very strong; 6-6 over hurdles'

'Has a solid record under Lewis Saunders but faces a tougher task in this field'

'Encouraging form in two handicaps at this sort of distance; still unexposed'

'Should relish this step back up in trip; solid form in two attempts over 2m4f; respected'

'Good second in Listed handicaps the last twice, finishing strongly at Leopardstown latest'

'Inconsistent this term but it's worth nothing that he's 2-2 under Finn Lambert'

'2-2 since switched to handicap level, both wins in December; open to further improvement'

'The form of his summer wins is a world away from Cheltenham Festival standard'

'Record of 3-7 under James Turner but has to overcome a career-high mark'

'Lacked fluency and ran poorly in Dublin Racing Festival handicap (2m) last time'

'Record of 2-2 since handicapping includes a C&D win; absent for 14 months'

'Second off 1lb higher in this race in 2023 and had an excuse last year; not ruled out'

'Interesting on his 2m Grade 2 win but failed to convince with stamina in sole 2m4f run'

'Raised a total of 15lb for two Newbury efforts that may not be entirely solid'

'Encouraging effort last time; won a race of this nature at Aintree two years ago'

'Scored over 2m4f on penultimate outing but was all out and only just held on'

'Fourth in the 4yo handicap here last year; inconsistent since joining current yard'

'Faller last time; consistent otherwise; solid second in sole Cheltenham attempt; player'

'Disappointing last time; headgear now applied; difficult task off current mark'

'Progressive in France (won last three races); very interesting on debut for Willie Mullins'

'Back down in class after two Grade 1 defeats; may show progress on handicap debut'

'Seems harshly treated, having been put up 14lb for his Listed effort two starts ago'
