TIMEFORM VIEW Ten-time winner in France (four of those wins over fences) and having been tailed off at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago, he wasted no time getting back on track fitted with blinkers when a close third at Uttoxetter on Tuesday. Fancied to feature provided this doesn’t come too soon. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating 102

TIMEFORM VIEW Improved when placed in handicaps at Ludlow (21f) and Taunton (19f) earlier this year and seemingly on a confidence-restoring mission when well held on his chasing debut at Newton Abbot last month. Should do better in this sphere so one to look out for. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 97

TIMEFORM VIEW Supported on his first start since leaving Alan King but failed to stop the slide after 11 weeks off when well held here last month. Quickly switched over the larger obstacles but he’s tough to fancy on recent evidence. Star RatingHHIII Official BHA Rating 92 CHARLIE HAMMOND

TIMEFORM VIEW Shaped well until his stamina appeared to give out over 3m at Fakenham in May and similar comments applied at Worcester last time, held when unseating his rider 2 out. Back in cheekpieces today and he’s one to consider from a sliding mark. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 89

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair winning hurdler/chaser for Elizabeth Doyle in Ireland but didn’t cut much ice over fences for this yard last autumn and similarly showed little back from 7 months off over hurdles recently. Back over the larger obstacles today but he looks an easy swerve. Star RatingHIIII Official BHA Rating 88

TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner last season but he’s looked one with problems this season, faltering quickly having tracked the pace until 5 out at Newton Abbot 19 days ago. Down to a potentially lenient mark but hard to put much faith in him. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 87
