His recent form is uninspiring but CUZCO DU MATHAN is now 17 lb lower in the weights than when winning this race 2 years ago and a revival wouldn't be a surprise. Worcester winner Getaway Jewel is the obvious alternative.

Verdict
Positive start over fences for current yard, runner-up twice before landing the odds at Hexham in June. Left with too much to do at Market Rasen last time and probably remains in form. Worth considering.

Verdict
Back in good heart, building on a couple of runner-up efforts when notching a rare win in 2m handicap chase at Worcester a fortnight ago, holding on gamely. Yard going really well and makes more appeal than most here up 4 lb.

Verdict
Has won 3 times at this track although form has been patchy this summer and he was never dangerous when well backed bidding to win a 21f handicap chase for the third year in a row on Saturday. Usually races over further than this.

Verdict
Irish point winner has been getting the hang of things over fences under Rules and she bagged 6-runner handicap chase at Newcastle (2m) in March. Shaped as if still in good heart at Warwick next time but might need this after 4 months off.

Dual C&D winner in 2024. Hasn't fired again this summer but is potentially thrown in now (17 lb lower mark than for last victory in this race 2 years ago).

Winning chaser who belatedly proved he retains some ability on the back of a 2-day turnaround when beaten just a neck in 21f handicap here last month. Well beaten on Saturday, however.
