'Useful novice who was sixth in the Supreme at Cheltenham; needs to hurdle more fluently'

'Beat only one other finisher in the County at Cheltenham; bit to prove off unchanged mark'

'Progressing fast; stormed home to win Morebattle at Kelso; big weight rise fully justified'

'Fine efforts in some of the warmest 2m handicaps; should be in the thick of things again'

'Runner-up in Betfair and County Hurdles; has a rock-solid profile and should go well again'

'Bids for back-to-back successes in this race; would benefit from the ground drying out'

'Finished last in last month's County Hurdle; tries new headgear again'

'Grade 2 bumper winner; hasn't hit the same heights over hurdles but may still be unexposed'

'Hit and miss so far but may not be fully exposed; strongly run race should suit him'

'Splendidly tough 9yo who rallied to score at Fairyhouse; still well treated on old form'

'Likeable 2m hurdler; second to Cracking Rhapsody in the Morebattle; bit more required'

'Good fifth in this last year; 8lb wrong this time but useful claimer booked; not ruled out'

'Good runs at Musselburgh this winter but subdued last two starts; others preferred'

'Smart 2m hurdler at his best, bit below par this season; has had wind surgery'
