'Easily made all at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and a 6lb rise isn't harsh'

'Could appreciate the return to hurdles & he was a fine 3rd in last season's County Hurdle'

'Good third at Kempton on second stable start and could still have more to offer'

'11l C&D win in January but only third of five over C&D last time; again looks vulnerable'

'Won on the Flat last October and has dropped down the weights, but has to raise his game'

'Creditable third in the Betfair Hurdle last month and firmly in calculations off 3lb lower'

'Second of 18 at Naas recently on second stable start and he's an each-way possible'

'Only fifth last time but is 3-6 since returning from long absence and could bounce back'

'3-6 over hurdles but there's a firm suspicion this race will prove to be too competitive'

'Won this last year; mixed fortunes since but ran well last time which bodes well for today'

'Won first two handicaps before close second at Catterick; further improvement is required'

'Travelled well to win on handicap debut and could have plenty more left in the tank'

'Won first 2 h'dle runs; well beaten the next twice but could still play leading role today'
