VerdictReturned to winning ways at Hexham (20.1f) in October and back to that sort of form when creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. One for shortlist. - 5. Majestic JameelaJ: Ciaran GethingsT: Stuart EdmundsF: 71213-3F9

VerdictScored 3 times over hurdles last term but fell heavily early on at Chepstow in October and may have needed the outing when below par at Carlisle last time. Not out of things.

VerdictDual bumper winner who also won a pair of novice hurdles last season. Far from disgraced on chase debut at Carlisle last month but subsequently well held back in this sphere at Cheltenham recently. Others more convincing.

VerdictWould have gone close but for departing at Warwick (19f) in November of last year and may have needed outing, on first start since, when seventh at Ffos Las (21.9f) 36 days ago. Still looking for first success, though.- Unnamed Favourite
