'Won his last start over hurdles and his latest Flat race on soft ground at Chester'

'Smart dual-purpose performer but 10lb higher than when second in this 12 months ago'

'Back hurdling after winning two of his three Flat races for this yard; good ground ideal'

'Needed the full force of the Bowen drive to go 4-4 over hurdles; 5lb higher this time'

'Still progressing over hurdles judged on his third in the Swinton in May'

'Could well for all that he's exposed, though rain wouldn't be welcomed'

'Will need to run better than at Uttoxeter last time when behind two of these'

'Has an excellent course record and he's one who won't be inconvenienced by rain'

'Made it 4-8 over hurdles when doing it comfortably at Hexham in May'

'Could be on a useful mark if the visor turns his fortunes around'

'On a four-timer in handicap hurdles; latest form franked; good ground is ideal'

'Had 44 races over hurdles but better than ever when beating Time Interval at Uttoxeter'

'Potentially well handicapped on this return to hurdles having been in good form chasing'

'Not on a strikingly good mark for this handicap debut and rain wouldn't be welcomed'
