Wellington Arch (G)
Progressive last season and made his second start in handicaps a winning one when taking 20-runner race at Aintree (20f). Placed in another big-field handicap at Punchestown next time (despite late mistake) and it's hard to know where his …

Marsiac (G)

Runner-up in an Irish point in February and has made a promising start under Rules, benefiting from the step up to 2½m when landing an Aintree maiden in October. Followed up in cosy fashion under a penalty over C&D and more to come now han…

Loriko (G)
Ran to a fairly useful level when second at Auteuil on his hurdling bow in March. Has shown similar form when placed all 3 starts for current yard, including when second to Kripticjim (winner again since) in maiden at Ascot on most recent …

Good To Be Alive (G)
Won a maiden hurdle on debut. Disappointed next two starts but back on the up on first run for new trainer (left Gordon Elliott) when second of 8 in Huntingdon handicap 4 weeks ago. Interesting with this step up in trip sure to suit on bre…

Moveit Like Minnie (G)
[V]
Fairly useful hurdler who resumed from 6 months off (had breathing op during absence) with a good second at Chepstow in October. Ran at least as well when third in a strong handicap at Ascot next time and easy to stick a line through his l…

Lightningupourdays (G)
Much improved when landing 8-runner event on handicap bow at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) last December. Far from disgraced (off 5 lb higher) when third at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) next time and has each-way claims if picking up where he l…

Came From Nowhere (G)
[T1]
Lightly raced 6yo with one bumper win and ran well when second of 10 on handicap debut at Wincanton (14/1) 16 days ago, forcing the pace and going down fighting. Likely to stay this longer trip and must enter calculations in a first-time t…

Wewillgowithplanb (G)
Hurdle winner in Ireland who struck twice over fences for Richard Bandey. Mixed record for Evan Williams last season but wasn't disgraced returning from a year off when fourth of 8 in handicap at Leicester 20 days ago. Back up in trip.

Time Interval (G)
Landed back-to-back handicaps hurdles at Stratford/Warwick in May and remained in fine form over summer. Unsuited by the increased test of stamina when well beaten on return at Cheltenham (21f, soft) and again ran below form back down in d…
