15/2
Fair winner at 20f over hurdles this time last year but not scored since and hasn't really threatened in a couple of starts over the larger obstacles. Visor now tried for first time.

10/3
Notched 3 chase wins (at up to 20.2f) last season. Should be straighter for last month's hurdling return and is only 2 lb above his last winning mark.

11/8
Point winner who made a winning chasing bow over C&D in March and has run to a similar level the last twice, latest when second of 6 to Boys of Wexford in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good) 45 days ago. Merits consideration.

4/1
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who has yet to make an impact in a couple of starts over fences and is hard to fancy.

7/1
Winner of a French claiming hurdle in February of 2023 but was more miss than hit for Laura Morgan, running no sort of race when last seen in October. Since joined new yard/had wind operation and market may prove best guide to claims here.
