Dinons (G)
[P]
Veteran who produced his best effort for a while when finding just one too good at Newcastle but not in same form there 12 days ago, albeit in a better race.

Baratablet (G)
Runner-up first 2 starts and cemented positive start when landing the odds in maiden hurdle at Hexham. Further progress in handicaps since, resuming winning ways at Perth in April. Off since but he's so lightly raced that there's surely ev…

Rafferty's Return (G)
[TP]
Landed a pair of handicap hurdles a couple of seasons back but he was below par last term and offered little on return.

Achnamara (G)

Twice a winner on the Flat and over hurdles last season but has struggled over both codes this campaign.

| 7th | 5 | — |
Dontyawantme (M)
Fairly useful bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in 11-runner novice at Carlisle. However, well held both starts since and best watched returning from 20-month absence (has left Craig Lidster).

Jamie Hamilton | M Walford | 8 | 73.5 kg |

Nitty Gritty (G)
Fair winning hurdler for Joseph O'Brien but offered little both starts for this yard.

Byron Hill (G)
[T]
A fair winning hurdler at Carlisle but ended last season out of form and always behind switched to fences both starts this season.

Divilabother (G)
Failed to win in Ireland but improved to strike at the first time of asking for Tristan Davidson at Hexham this summer. Runner-up both starts since (ground too testing last time) and can make his presence felt.

Harry Reed | T Davidson | 7 | 72.1 kg |

Singapore Trip (G)
[T]
Capitalised on a falling mark at Wetherby on return and decent third back there since. Not taken lightly.

Wasthatok (G)
[T]
Back on track when second at Wetherby and confirmed that promise with a ready success at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) last month. Didn't get very far over fences next time but remains of interest back over hurdles.

Joe Williamson | P A Kirby | 7 | 70.8 kg |

Aquitaine Boy (G)
C&D winner who proved much better for return when fifth over C&D 4 weeks ago but more needed if he's to defy current mark.

Aire Spray (G)

[P1]
Improved when twice a winner last winter but just respectable efforts at best since, including both starts this term. Headgear on.

Wise Move (G)

Multiple winning pointer but just a modest maiden hurdler. Needs to improve if he's to make a winning return.
