Mythe Bridge (G)
Son of Black Sam Bellamy made an encouraging return from 7 months off when third of 10 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Yard has a good record in this so he's not taken lightly off the same mark.

Hill Of Tara (G)
A fair 3m2f winner over hurdles but he has yet to match that form in this sphere, a well-held fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, good to soft, 12/1) 32 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Streamsforth Lad (G)
[T]
Arrives in good form without winning over hurdles, third of 7 in handicap at Wetherby (24.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Pulled up on his only previous run over fences but still commands respect.

Fat Faced Columbo (G)
Runner-up in an Irish point and he shaped promisingly when a clear second of 10 in handicap at Exeter (24.2f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 32 days ago. Up 6 lb but winner has gone in again so he rates a player.

Three Figs (G)
[P1]
Only modest form shown in a trio of maiden hurdles, fifth of 7 at Hereford (19.7f, good) 24 days ago. Goes up in trip with cheekpieces added for his chasing bow and could still do better.

House Of Habsburg (G)
FAV
Cut little ice over hurdles but took a big step forward when a clear second of 9 in handicap at Warwick (24f, soft) on his debut over fences 8 days ago. Holds leading claims.

Delgany Deadline (G)
Fair maiden hurdler who resumed from 7 months off with a good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 44 days ago. Steps back up in trip now starting out over fences and must enter calculations.

Community Rebel (G)
Point/hurdles winner who showed fair chasing form without scoring for James Ewart. However, he's yet to offer much for his current yard so others appeal more.

Try The Money (G)
[P1]
Still to score over fences but he is knocking on the door, second of 7 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, soft) 30 days ago. Well in the mix once more with cheekpieces added.

Worth The Walk (M)
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who was pulled up in handicap at Ayr (24.1f, heavy) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Meranti (G)
Poor maiden hurdler/chaser on balance of form. Remote fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, soft) 27 days ago and others are much preferred here.

Miami Jim (G)

Arrives out of sorts, eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Wincanton (26.7f, soft) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.
