122 Expert View: Scored by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Hereford on his penultimate start. Jumped poorly and made too much use of when pulled up in a handicap chase latest. Trainer in form; effective at 2m4f-3m1f and best on a sound surface. Progressive until latest and this mark demands more.

Form Snapshot: He has won two chases and a point-to-point from 3m to 3m 1f on good and good to soft ground. Pulled up at the last when 10-3fav at Newbury over 2m 7f (good to soft) in a chase won by Top Target last month on his latest outing. Has won twice at Hereford this season.

123 Expert View: Made too much use of and ran well to a point when 52l third in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter most recently. Effective over 2 1/2-3m. Inconsistent, but may have more to offer over fences if brushing up on his jumping.

Form Snapshot: Successful in a hurdle race and a point-to-point at 2m 7f and 3m on soft and soft - heavy ground. Third of 8 behind Jo Coko beaten a distance at 4-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Uttoxeter over 3m 2f (soft) last month.

124 Expert View: Fell in a handicap chase at Hereford latest when well fancied. Form of previous runner up effort boosted. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts with cut. Progressing over fences and retains potential if putting that latest mishap behind him.

116 Expert View: Pulled up in a handicap chase at Kelso latest. Enjoys making it and is off a short break. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and suited by decent ground. Was progressing over fences until latest and this looks much easier.

Form Snapshot: He has won a hurdle race, two chases and a point-to-point from 2m 4f to 3m on good and good to soft ground. Pulled up at the last when 7-2 at Kelso over 4m (soft) in a chase won by Grozni in December last year on his latest outing. Has won at Chepstow and Kelso this season.

123 Expert View: Outpaced but ran to form when 14l third in a handicap chase at Haydock most recently. Off a short break. Effective over 2-3m and acts with cut. A consistent performer who should give his running.

Form Snapshot: A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 1f on soft ground. Third of 5 behind Paddy O'Mahler beaten 14l at 11-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Haydock over 3m 2f (good to soft) in December last year.

123 Expert View: Outpaced but ran to form on chase debut when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest flying home from unpromising position. Effective over 2 1/2m. Should come on for that initial experience and may get this bit further. Looks a major player.
