Travis Wheatley (G)
FAV
Point winner but only modest form in novice hurdles last season. Fell on handicap debut in March, though making his seasonal/stable debut he was unsuited by the steady gallop when fourth of 6 at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) 20 days ago. Interestin…

Artic Mann (G)
Has returned from his summer break in good heart, not seen to best effect (shuffled back after 3 out) when fifth of 14 in handicap at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) a month ago. Now only 1 lb above last winning mark so he can make his presenc…

Slievehill (G)
Winning Irish pointer but hasn't offered much promise in a trio of starts over hurdles for current yard, tailed off in maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) on latest outing. Has something to find as he goes up in trip for handicap debut.

Star Vantage (G)
[T]
Long-standing maiden but returned to his best when runner-up at Cartmel (22.1f) in May. Failed to take much of a step forward from his recent run when fourth of 7 at Wetherby (24.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, so more needed if he's to bre…

Coral Blue (G)
[T]
Having dropped a long way in the weights, got back on track when fifth of 15 at Carlisle (20f) on return. However, failed to repeat that effort when well held at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) last month. Others more persuasive given another …

You Did (G)
FAV
Benefited from going up in trip when getting off the mark in handicap at Hexham in October (20.1f) and creditable second at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Remains unexposed as a stayer so he's a major player.

Cage Rattler (G)
Remains a maiden over hurdles but, with his regular hood left off, he ran respectably when fourth of 11 at this course (19.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Mark has eased further if he can build on his latest effort now upped in trip.

Leader Wing (G)
[B]
Bumper winner for Tom Weston who posted some creditable efforts over hurdles for present yard in the spring, including when a close fourth of 6 at Kelso (25.8f) in May. Possibly needed the run after 6 months off back at Kelso last time, so…
