With three wins over fences earlier this season, LOVELY JOB can continue his progressive ways back from a break for Fergal O'Brien, whose horses often run well fresh. Double Treasure has the drying ground in his favour on this first run since November and he is feared most, with further improvement entirely possible as he is stepped up in trip. Another Hero and Singlefarmpayment are handicapped to go well.[Ben Hutton]

Tendency to make mistakes is a concern, but he was a decent fifth in top handicap (3m1f, heavy) at the Festival and could improve upon that performance now back on better ground, with his best RPRs having come on good/good to soft going (and all here); capable of big say off handy mark.

Fortunate to finish second at Fakenham last month as the two clear leaders came down at the final fence; however, he may have needed that first run for three months and he's capable of playing a part off a mark just 3lb higher than when winning by 9l here (3m1f, good) in October.

Has gone up the weights and faces toughest task yet over fences on this first run since November; however, he's certainly been progressive as a chaser, making all in game fashion at Taunton (2m7f, good) when last seen, and may yet be more to come for trainer whose horses often run well fresh.

Absent since last April, when a fair 11th in the Scottish National; however, he's won after an even longer layoff in the past and he's feasibly treated on last season's form (good/good to soft ground); trainer won this last year and he's one to watch in the betting on his return to action.

Novice chase winner in 2015, he's effective at this course, and he's 3lb lower than when winning easily over hurdles at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in November; however, his subsequent form hasn't come up to scratch (including over fences two starts ago) and a revival is required.

Soft ground against him when midfield here (2m4f, soft) when last seen in November, and has had wind op since; won his three other autumn starts (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft), including here when showing reserves of stamina, and this progressive 7yo is respected up in trip for in-form yard.

Pulled up all three starts this season, including at Newbury last time following a wind op; has to prove he retains ability but the ground has been soft the last twice, and today's drying surface is a source of hope with last season's course win (3m1f) coming on good going; fully 11lb lower today.

Better than ever this season, posting career best when winning by 8l at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) 11 days ago; hard to dismiss given current form and he has run well on good/good to soft, but there is a question mark about whether he'll be quite as effective as last time now back on better ground.

Dual hurdle winner (good/soft) who is 4lb lower than when a good second over fences in December (2m7f, heavy); trainer's horses can return to form from out of the blue but this fellow hasn't been at his best on his last three starts, and this a tough race in which to try and break his chasing duck.

Always in rear and pulled up before the 17th in Saturday's Grand National; apart from that, and when not staying 4m1f in February, he's enjoyed a consistent second season chasing on ground from good through to soft, and he's feasibly treated if Saturday didn't take too much out of him.

Patchy profile during short career and pulled up in Grade 1 novice at Kempton last time out on Boxing Day; however, he's had a wind op since, his best form has come when fresh, and with his 3-6 record (including chase debut win) he has potential off this handicap debut mark; cheekpieces added.

Won on reappearance at Carlisle (3m, soft) in October and stable form provides hope regarding a revival; however, he's been pulled up on his four starts since that victory and the handicapper has barely relented; lots to prove, including with regards to the drying ground.
