Progressive; successful at Doncaster and Newcastle and may well complete a hat-trick

Has beaten just one rival in four runs for current yard but his mark is in freefall
8	Donnie Azoff Chestnut J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	158	—	/2521-	112	118	96	37d	—	—	+23	33.4	1.50/1	7 14%
Off mark at eighth attempt last time; relatively low-mileage on handicap debut

Ended last season in a lull but returning to Hexham (3-3 here) could be just what he needs

Hasn't built on two novice hurdle wins but might have needed the run last time
10	Russian Virtue Bay J:Nathan Moscrop T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Nathan Moscrop T:Rebecca Menzies	153	—	/1114-	107	123	87	43d	—	—	+21	32.3	2.50/1	11 9%

Veteran; last success came in December 2020; this trip could be too sharp

Durable 11yo with seven wins; second at Carlisle last time; could be in the money again

May not have stayed 2m3f in the mud last time; previous run gives him a squeak
