'No improvement for sustained return to hold-up tactics; others are more convincing'

'Second here in May (about 2m1f); not gone on since, but might appreciate tonight's trip'

'Up 9lb for easy C&D hurdles win latest (good to soft); wouldn't want a complete dryout'

'Offered little on recent return from 13 months out; overlooked despite smart connections'

'C&D win latest came in a quicker time than Spot On Soph's; wouldn't mind good ground'

'Mostly holding form well since Hexham May win (a fifth over hurdles); readily shortlisted'

'Yet to complete any of his three handicap starts; drop back in trip isn't persuasive.'

'25-1 Worcester maiden winner in May (2m, good) but hasn't kicked on since; handicap debut'

'May have needed both starts this summer; purple patch started about this time last year'

'Has basically held his hurdling form since April win (2m1.5f, soft); poor on Flat latest'

'Two seconds at around 2m4f here this summer; likely needs to find a bit more in the visor'

'2-2 over C&D (including this race last year), but still higher in the weights at present'

'Refused to settle last twice, so some risks, but thrown in on peak Irish hurdles form'

'Trip and good ground fine, and generally consistent enough to warrant place consideration'
