Very difficult to place maximum faith in the majority of these, but that remark doesn't necessarily apply to Foxesbow and Marked Man. The former gets the nod on account of his untapped potential over fences. Dream Falcon could fare best of the rest, writes Timeform.

Winsley Hill showed she was just as good over fences when winning at Worcester in August, but her jumping lacks fluency and it is hard to forgive her dismal exhibition last time.

Dream Falcon is an ungenuine front runner who has won twice over fences, including here. His tendency to jump markedly left was still apparent when running poorly last two starts in the spring and he could need this on return.

Orfeo Conti emerged from the wilderness when a fortunate winner at Southwell in August (left clear at last), but he is basically ungenuine and reverted to type last time.

Foxesbow made a most encouraging start over fences when winning over this trip at Ffos Las on his third run for his current yard in August, gradually warming to the task. More on his plate now, but capable of better still.

Potts Of Magic is none too straightforward but got off the mark over fences at Huntingdon in March. He has made little impact since, including over hurdles last time. This track suits, but he is still above his last winning mark.

Brize Norton's last win came over fences in July 2008. There has been more cause for optimism of late, but he has still looked irresolute under pressure, and is always worth taking on.

Marked Man is a veteran chaser who is often let down by his jumping. He has produced solid efforts both starts since regaining winning thread at Hereford in June and is a leading player if his jumping continues to come up to scratch.

Sydney Sling is a fair hurdler who lacks the physique for chasing. He was disputing the lead when crashing out at the sixth on his fencing bow recently. Upped markedly in trip here and the percentage call is to oppose.
