Iris Des Issards (G)
[P]
Newton Abbot handicap hurdle winner in April. Not so good both starts since but may have needed the outing on last month's Worcester chase debut after a break and has quickly returned to the mark he defied at Newton Abbot.

Summerleaze (M)
Notched a hurdle hat-trick for Olly Murphy in the spring. Hasn't been able to continue the good work over fences more recently and pulled up back hurdling on recent first outing for Nick Scholfield.

Avada Kedavra (G)
Modest maiden. Built on reappearance when third of 9 in 3m Kempton handicap (good to soft) 17 days ago. Claims with a repeat.

Getuptheyard (G)
FAV
Still a maiden but largely run with credit over hurdles this year, finishing runner-up 3 times. Another respectable effort when fourth of 9 at Lingfield (23f, good) 16 days ago. Likely to be competitive again.

Something Simple (G)
[T]
No impact in 3 qualifying runs in Ireland this autumn but appeals as a potential improver now handicapping up in trip.

Tom Taggle (G)
Ended last season with a 3m handicap win at Chepstow. Struggling when falling 3 out on 19.5f reappearance there 3 weeks ago but the return to a longer trip could see him in a better light.
