Lookaway (G)
Useful hurdler who achieved a similar level of form in 2 chases last November, winning at Uttoxeter before third in Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham. Off 11 months (had wind op), showed he retains his ability when close third of 10 in 2m Uttox…

Kotmask (G)
[P1]
Won Ascot handicap chase off 1 lb lower last December. Better effort this season when fifth of 8 back at Ascot last time, although his jumping was a bit mixed. Yard going well.

Mighty Bandit (G)
Fairly useful hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott. Has struggled in a light career in that sphere for this yard but, fit from a spell on the Flat (including a Ffos Las win), he made a positive start over fences when second over C&D 19 days a…

Uncle Phil (G)
[HT]
Smart handicap chaser at his best for Willie Mullins but offered little last season and always behind all 3 starts for this yard.

Torneo (G)
Took well to chasing last term, with 2m novice handicap wins at Taunton and Chepstow. Creditable runner-up efforts on both starts this season, latterly going down by only a neck at Cheltenham. Raised 4 lb for that.

Highlands Legacy (G)
FAV
Didn't do much wrong over hurdles and solid start to chase career, winning 2m Worcester handicap (good to soft) before second in a similar race at Aintree (good). The Aintree form has been strongly boosted and he's likely still on a favour…
