The manner in which DOYEN QUEST overcame a significant early blunder here the previous month suggests a 10 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent him from going in again, not least as he's totally unexposed as a stayer. Long Draw and Might I head up the opposition in a race that is likely to make for strong form.

    Most progressive sort who built on his fine reappearance second in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow when running out a 5-length winner at this course (3m) last month, quickening to lead entering final 1f and soon clear. Hiked up 10 lb but is totally unexposed as a stayer.

    Capitalised on a falling mark in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, soft, 7/2) 30 days ago, helped by the runner-up jinking at the last. 4 lb rise fair and ought to be on the premises again.

    Held his form well last season and ran another solid race when 5 lengths second of 12 to Doyen Quest in handicap hurdle at this course (24f, good) 27 days ago. Can give another good account.

    Verdict
    Has been given a chance by the handicapper and stepped up on his reappearance when fourth of 12 to the reopposing Doyen Quest here (3m) last month, closing when hanging left approaching last. Seems to be building back up to something and remains one to keep an eye on.

    Verdict
    Useful stayer on the Flat for Harry & Roger Charlton and much improved over hurdles last spring, completing a handicap hat-trick in a big-field handicap at Haydock in May. Returned with a good third here in October and seemed unsuited by conditions back at Haydock on most recent outing.

    Fairly useful handicap hurdler. Good efforts when runner-up both starts this season, including when collared in dying strides in 4-runner affair at Lingfield (23f) latterly. This is tougher, however.

    Verdict
    £60,000 Irish point recruit very much on the up since switched to handicaps, winning at Ffos Las (20f) in May and surpassed that form when runner-up all 4 starts since, bumping into yet another lightly-raced rival here (21f) last time. Seems sure to go well again.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful Flat winner in Germany. Built up a good strike rate in both codes for new yard, twice a winner on the level in the summer before adding to his tally in this sphere (value for extra) at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in September. Posted a creditable third here last month and has to be respected.

    Verdict
    Dual novice hurdle winner last season and made a winning start over fences in 4-runner handicap chase at Ascot (18.8f, good) on his return just under 6 weeks ago. Tackles 3m for the first time back over hurdles and is an interesting runner.

    Verdict
    Prolific winner in handicap hurdles in 2021/22 and ran well in some hot handicaps the following season. However, nowhere near that level in 3 runs this season and is probably best watched returning to hurdling in a first-time tongue strap.
