Verdict
PLAYFUL FOX wasn't given a hard time of it when a recent fifth at Uttoxeter on his chasing bow and this dual winning hurdler is fancied to build on it and gain a first win in this sphere. Fencing debutant Annual Invitation brings potential and could emerge as the chief threat, especially if the market vibes are positive. Reteti and Another Folly aren't out of things either.

VerdictGained a deserved first success over hurdles at Stratford (2m) in August and backed it up with a good third of 11 in handicap at Newton Abbot (17f, good) 19 days ago. Worth a look now going chasing.

VerdictPoint winner. Showed promise when twice placed over hurdles in February but failed to build on it after, finding little when beating one on handicap debut at Taunton (19f, good) in April. Makes chase debut.

VerdictPut experience to good use when off the mark over fences at Stratford (23f) last autumn. Mostly respectable efforts since, including on return from 5 months off when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Stratford (23f, good) 12 days ago. Takes a marked drop in trip here.- 4.

VerdictMuch improved over hurdles this summer, scoring (over 2m) at Stratford and here. Shaped encouragingly under a patient ride when fifth of 9 in handicap at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on chasing debut 13 days ago. Capable of better and a leading player. - 5.

VerdictPlaced in Irish points and has shaped with promise without being knocked about in a handful of runs over hurdles. Not without interest starting out over fences here and well worth a market check for shrewd yard.

VerdictFairly useful bumper winner but unable to add to tally over hurdles. Showed aptitude for chasing when third at Ffos Las in January but only sixth of 8 in first-time cheekpieces at Leicester (2m, soft) following month. More is required on his seasonal return.- Unnamed Favourite
