Supremely West (G)
Useful for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole, winning 3m Haydock handicap in the mud last December. Encouraging reappearance third for Dan Skelton at Cheltenham in October but not in the same form when fifth to Kikijo there 3 weeks ago.,

Chasing Fire (G)
Enhanced superb record fresh when landing 4-runner 3m handicap at Perth in September. Better form when second of 7 to Impose Toi over 3m at Aintree 6 weeks later. One of 2 solid contenders for Olly Murphy.

Green Book (G)
Won a valuable C&D handicap in February of 2022 and 2023 but off since finishing fourth in the Pertemps Final at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival. A watching brief is the percentage call given the length of absence.

Hititi (G)

Useful hurdler but ran poorly on last month's return to action at Newbury. Entitled to strip fitter with that behind him but others are still preferred.

Kikijo (G)
FAV
Chase winner over 2½m last winter and in good form back hurdling this autumn. building on Aintree reappearance fourth to win over 3m at Cheltenham (soft) 3 weeks ago, seeing it out thoroughly. Raised 7 lb but his unexposed profile provides…

Ikarak (G)
[P]
Bagged a couple of 25f Warwick handicaps last term and enhanced his fine strike-rate for the Olly Murphy yard with a 23f Lingfield success on reappearance 25 days ago, responding well. May do better again but Sean Bowen on stable's other r…

Lavender Hill Mob (G)
[P]
Developed into a useful performer on the Flat this year before making a successful return to hurdles in 21f Cheltenham handicap (soft) 3 weeks ago. 8 lb higher here but retains handicapping scope on Flat form now stepping up in trip.

Absolutely Doyen (G)
Made it 3-3 since joining Paul Nicholls when seeing off 8 rivals on 3m Ascot handicap debut (soft) 14 days ago. Hit with an 8 lb rise but did it readily and there should be more to come.

Turndlightsdownlow (G)
FAV
Progressive form, easily landing a pair of 21f Kempton handicaps this autumn. The longer trip and deeper ground now are unknowns but he's almost certainly capable of better again.
