'Bumped into revitalised opponent when second at Huntingdon recently; only 1lb higher'

'Ran big race in defeat over C&D last month despite racing too freely; major player'

'Ran fairly well in a recent hunter chase and is well handicapped on older hurdling form'

'Good Hexham winner last spring but absent since two disappointing runs in the autumn'

'Slightly disappointing last time but has claims if judged on earlier C&D fourth'

'Showed no significant promise in his four qualifying races but may improve in handicaps'

'Four-time hurdle winner; on a good mark now but not firing on all cylinders lately'

'Faded into fifth on last month's handicap debut (2m4f); may fare better now back at 2m'

'Has shown some hurdling ability but his tendency to pull hard is a serious concern'
