Got off the mark in Haydock handicap chase in December and not discredited next 2 starts. Shaped as if better for the run at Kelso on return and he's a likely player eased 2 lb.

Suited by long distances and ended last season with a win over C&D. Better than ever when making a winning return at Bangor last month and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick back up in trip.

Resumed winning ways over hurdles (23f) here in June but went off too hard there next time. Respectable effort back chasing when fourth here (20f) 12 days ago but still has stamina to prove over this far.

Won 5 in a row between March and June before good second at Cartmel in July. Shaped as if still in reasonable heart after 3 months off when third at Sedgefield and likely to give it another good shot.

Just the one decent effort last season but that came when ½-length second to Betterforeveryone (4 lb better off with winner now) over C&D in March. Had no chance at the weights on her return from 6 months off at Carlisle 17 days ago.

Two-time hurdle winner who belatedly got off the mark over fences at Carlisle in February. Good 2 lengths third behind a couple of these over C&D in March but didn't show much on return and 8 lb out of the handicap here.

Timeform Verdict

BETTERFOREVERYONE beat a couple of these over C&D in March and looked better than ever when following up at Bangor on his return despite the drop back in trip. He can complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Wal Buck's, who is back on a fair mark and should come on for his comeback run.
