'Very lightly raced 8yo who won 14-runner Hexham handicap chase last month; respected'

'Ran as though something amiss on chase debut in October after long absence; wind op since'

'Ran well to a point after a long layoff and is very well handicapped on old form'

'Looked very promising when placed in novice hurdle last month; chase/handicap debut today'

'Dual hurdle winner; made just a mildly encouraging chase debut; improvement required'

'0-15 over fences but ended last year with three good efforts; likely contender again here'

'0-8 under rules but current mark is workable if all goes to plan'

'Won a chase at start of this season but has not yet built on that performance'
