5/6
Dual-winning hurdler who found improvement when making a winning start over fences in 7-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and may have more to offer yet.

9/2
Produced a career-best effort to resume winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap chase in June and not disgraced in better company at Cheltenham latest. Should give another good account.

40/1
Useful handicap chaser at best but little impact in handful of starts for Gordon Elliott and he's not looked a winner in waiting in a trio of starts for current connections, third of 5 in Wetherby handicap chase latest. Continues to tumble down the weights, however.

12/1
Gambled-on and got off the mark for this yard at Wexford in August and added to that success in emphatic fashion at Killarney (17f) last month. Posted creditable third (off 10 lb higher) at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft) since and ought tp go well again here.

11/2
Maiden hurdler but this half-brother to the yard's very smart chaser Cepage confirmed previous chasing promise when winning heavy-ground handicaps at Lingfield (22.1f) and Bangor (17.4f) in March. Faces different conditions on return here but must enter calculations.

Proved consistent in the last 12 months, including a win at Newton Abbot (16.3f) in July. No match for winner the last twice but he ran worth with credit on both occasions.

28/1
Free-going sort who left hurdles form well behind when winning first 2 starts over fences early last year and posted best effort since when second at Worcester (16.5f) in June. Well below form at Stratford last time, however, and makes limited appeal.

Forecasts

Imperial Saint (5/6), Coastguard Station (9/2), Hunter Legend (11/2), Magistrato (8/1), Jack Holiday (12/1), Calgary Tiger (28/1), El Borracho (40/1), Grey Diamond (40/1)

Verdict

IMPERIAL SAINT was aided by a late mishap to his main challenger when scoring over C&D last month but he remains with potential in this sphere and can follow up. Hunter Legend and Coastguard Station rate the principal dangers.
