Verdict

It's likely that point winners DAVIDOC and Doyen For Money will step up on what they showed over hurdles now switched to the larger obstacles. Marginal preference is for the former, who promises to be suited by this stiffer test and he hails from a yard that has made a very bright start to the season. Icare Grandchamp is third choice ahead of Begin The Luck.

Verdict
Point winner who opened his hurdles account at the fourth attempt in a good-ground Plumpton maiden (2m) in April. Beaten favourite in a couple of handicaps since but shapes as though this step up in trip will be in his favour now switched to fences and represents an in-form yard.

Verdict
Opened chase account in a 13-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (21f, good) in June. By no means disgraced back from a break at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) recently and should have a big part to play back on better ground.

Verdict
Winner of sole start between the flags and notched second success over hurdles when landing a handicap at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) on sole start last season. Makes chase debut off 10 lb higher mark but he is one to consider nonetheless.

Verdict
Deservedly got his head back in front when capitalising on a lower hurdles mark at Stratford (18.7f, heavy) last month. Forecast quicker ground here no issue and should make his presence felt returned to the larger obstacles.

Verdict
Winner over hurdles at Perth in June and followed that with a couple of respectable efforts in defeat. Built for chasing but recent debut effort in this sphere at Fakenham left much to be desired, even allowing for the fact that the drop to 16.3f was against him. Yard also saddles Up For Appeal.

Verdict
Successful at Bangor and Ludlow last term but ended that campaign with a couple of rather subdued efforts. All 4 career wins have been gained at around 2m and he's probably worth taking on back up in trip here following a 6-month absence.

Just 1 lb higher than for his clear-cut victory in a 4-runner Leicester handicap in February but pulled up both subsequent starts, including on his reappearance at Stratford last month.

Got off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot in June but has found life tougher since, again coming up short at Fakenham last month. Others make more appeal.
