Comment: Three-time chase winner when based in France; not an instant success for David Pipe in Britain this year but returned from break with very comfortable course win (2m, soft) under Rian Corcoran ten days ago and will be fine over this longer trip; obvious contender under 7lb penalty.

Comment: Very well handicapped on old hurdling form; ultimately well beaten in both chases since returning from mammoth absence in September but travelled well for a long way here (3m, good) on latter occasion and today's trip-and-ground combination may suit him better; worth a second look.

Comment: Yet to add to her course bumper win two years ago but began season with two creditable seconds this autumn, in maiden hurdle at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) and handicap chase at Hereford (3m1f, good); will be suited by both the return to this track and today's slower ground; ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Comment: 0-4 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up in trip when keeping-on second behind an improver on handicap debut here (2m4f, good; first-time tongie-tie) in March; had wind op during eight-month break; open to more improvement if this stiffer stamina test suits.
