'Won 2m4f heavy-ground maiden hurdle at Newcastle in February; has staying potential'

'Got up in final strides over 2m5f here latest; today's extra yardage may well suit'

'Lightly raced 8yo who is on a handy mark on best form but has a very hefty absence to defy'

'Won a point-to-point in May but has a modest strike-rate under rules; stable debut'

'Runner-up in maiden hurdle here in March but unable to threaten in first two handicaps'

'Won at Carlisle in March but off since soundly beaten fourth over C&D in April'

'C&D novice hurdle winner who makes handicap debut and is in very good hands to progress'

'Two wins at Ayr earlier this year; has to prove himself away from there but not ruled out'

'Below par at Wetherby last time but enjoying a good season otherwise and could bounce back'

'Progressive earlier in year before two below-par runs; needs to return with career best'
