'Eight-time hurdle winner; back from break with two very respectable runs this month'

'Ran big race and lost out only by a head over C&D eight days ago; obvious contender'

'Tailed off when favourite for handicap debut and latest run was also underwhelming'

'0-13 over hurdles but recent efforts (one over C&D) give him pretty solid each-way claims'

'Placed from out of the weights over C&D last week; effectively 1lb lower today'

'Placed in two of his three handicaps and may still have a bigger run in him; shortlisted'

'Didn't run badly over fences last month but career strike-rate now 0-26'

'Won at Sedgefield last month and creditable second of 14 over C&D since; respected'

'Veteran; ended long losing run with narrow success in plating company last month'

'Placed at massive odds in Sedgefield maiden in October but not the most obvious one here'

'Ran well over hurdles last month but tailed off on the Flat for new stable 17 days ago'

'Lightly raced and generally very disappointing since winning twice in 2021'

'Didn't run badly at Perth this month but remains difficult to enthuse over'

'Returned from long absence with poor run in February; off for another 118 days since'

'Placed in Sedgefield maiden in October but struggled on recent handicap hurdle debut'
