Had wind surgery in Juy; stable form this autumn suggests she could be back with a bang

Seventh in the big end-of-season handicap over C&D in April did not prove his stamina

Veteran; effectiveness with the trip/ground in big races means he can't be ruled out

1-13 over fences, the win gained in a three-runner race; out of form but trip interesting

Not having proved himself beyond 3m (no attempts beyond 3m1f) poses the big question
