Comment: Already a veteran of 40 races; came good at the seventh attempt over hurdles when easily landing the odds at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; not ruled out but this is tougher and others have more potential.

Comment: No match for Laravie at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in June but he got off the mark in first-time blinkers over C&D (good to soft) next time; proving consistent and should be thereabouts again.

Comment: 4yo who was rough around the edges early on but seems more the finished article now; found plenty to win maiden at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in June and followed up in novice over same C&D (good) the following month; shapes as if he'll be suited by this longer distance; commands respect.

Final Straw

Jockey: James Bowen Trainer: Nicky Henderson Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 4

Comment: Too green to do himself justice when 16l fourth of eight on debut at Southwell (2m4f, good; 11-4) six weeks ago, keeping on after being outpaced; bit to find on the figures but no surprise at all if he improves a chunk.

Comment: Won a small-field point in April and stayed on for fourth of 17 in bumper at Aintree (also on good) in May; switched stables before finishing tailed off on recent hurdles debut at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft; 11-4); requires a big step forward but it's too soon to be writing her off.

Comment: Made it 4-8 over hurdles when doing it comfortably at Hexham in May (2m, good to soft; 5lb lower), since when he probably found the ground too fast back on the Flat; the wind surgery in January has brought him on and he looks a solid candidate.

Comment: Six-time Flat winner and still progressing over hurdles judged on his third in the Swinton in May (1m7f, good; same mark); has won on all types ground so makes the shortlist.

Comment: Failed to fire when defending Uttoxeter's Summer Cup 20 days ago (3m2f) having previously returned to form with a second to Statuario at Perth (3m); kept mostly to good ground these past two years but might prefer it a bit softer these days (has won on soft); third in this two years ago.

Comment: Strike-rate of 7-16 over fences and one of his defeats was a second in this two years ago on soft ground (overall record suggests a drier surface is preferred); well handicapped and his third to Charlie Uberalles at Cartmel was on the back of a long absence; that could have put him spot on for this, a race his stable has won eight times.

Rocks Up Late

Jockey: Ben Jones Trainer: Ben Pauling Age/Wt: 5/11-4 F: 09-111 OR: 97

9 tips

Comment: Unbeaten in three handicap chases for Ben Pauling, from 2m to 2m2f on good ground; did it easily enough at Worcester last time to believe he can cope with an 8lb rise, provided a sound surface isn't crucial for him.

Greenways

Jockey: Benjamin Macey Trainer: Ryan Potter Age/Wt: 6/10-5 F: 2-4331 OR: 84

1 tip

Comment: Plenty of fences were omitted when off the mark at the fifth attempt over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, good), where he scraped home by a head; up just 3lb with Benjamin Macey again taking off 7lb; only a 6yo and does look mildly progressive; good or good to soft ground looks preferable.

Comment: Two C&D wins this year on good ground; left behind by a James Owen reviver over 2m3f back here last month and remains in form; has since bypassed a soft-ground engagement so the weather needs watching; 4lb wrong.

Unwanted Attention

Jockey: Shane Fenelon Trainer: Mickey Bowen Age/Wt: 7/10-2 F: 8P-45 OR: 81

Comment: Won over 2m5f here last summer off 4lb lower so interesting in that respect, but his struggles continued when running another laboured race at Worcester on Thursday (surprisingly as the 11-10f).
