Beaten 2L into third on his penultimate outing over 3m on soft ground at Musselburgh in February. Sent off favourite when unseating over an extended 2m5f at Kelso (good) last month and has stamina concerns here.
Winner over hurdles off a 3lb higher mark on soft-to-heavy ground at Tipperary two years ago. Well beaten in two runs for this yard including at Hexham last time out but has a top jockey booked here.
Had just six starts over fences and pulled up on the most recent of those over C&D in September. Well held twice over hurdles last month and a bit to prove at present.
Chase record of 2/22 so far including a victory off a 1lb lower mark over an extended 3m2f at Musselburgh (good) in March. Well held twice since his jockey on that occasion rides him for the first time since in this.
Both successes have come over fences including when left alone for the most recent of those at Musselburgh in November 2014. Out of form since finishing fourth off a 7lb higher mark at Musselburgh in December.
15 race maiden but put in one of his better efforts when beaten 8½L into fourth over an extended 2m5f at Kelso (good) last month. Also finished 18L third over hurdles at Sedgefield in first time blinkers the time before.
Maiden after 15 starts and yet to place. Still going ok when falling at Hexham on his penultimate start but well beaten at that same track subsequently and a risky proposition here.
Won twice on the Flat in the past and beaten 13½L into fourth over 2m4f at Hexham (good) last time out. Likely to find a few too good from out of the handicap here.

Dutch Canyon (3/1), Doubledisdoubledat (7/2), Don Franco (4/1), Shaiyzar (9/2), Crinkle Crags (8/1), Shine A Diamond (10/1), Arantes (10/1), Mollies Gent (12/1), Daydream Island (14/1), Oscar Lateen (16/1)
The maiden DUTCH CANYON can register his first success in this staying handicap chase. The selection ran well when fourth at Kelso last month and can get the better of Doubledisdoubledat who has slight stamina concerns over this trip while Don Franco who represents a shrewd Irish yard and has a leading jockey booked for this can claim third.
