Course hurdles winner who scored on his chase debut at Limerick and holds strong claims

Soundly beaten latest but promising chase debut previously; could bounce back with big run

Made it 2-2 over fences with easy win over C&D last month and a 10lb rise may not stop him

Promising second when back over fences at Newbury and he could be in the mix

Fair third over C&D last month when bidding for hat-trick but needs something extra today
