Form & Verdict
Won his hurdle over 2m4f here last spring; started his chase career with two creditable seconds at Uttoxeter (2m, good/good to soft) in October and he was badly hampered when unseating early at Ludlow (7-4 favourite) last month; should have more to offer in this sphere and he's an interesting contender back at this track.

10yo who returned to form with good second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) four weeks ago; he's never gone beyond an extended 2m1f over fences but won at 2m4f over hurdles; possible player if the trip is okay.

J: Tom Cannon

T: Kerry Lee

Never really got competitive at Haydock last month (race in which Sunnyvilla went close) but is now 2lb lower than when very creditable fifth in competitive Cheltenham handicap (2m, soft) on seasonal debut in November; suited by this track; big player if quickly back on song.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon in October 2023 but he's had only three runs since and was tailed off on handicap/chase debut at Windsor (2m, good to soft) last month; that was after a lengthy absence but he didn't jump well and others are more convincing.

T: Jamie Snowden

Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences; hasn't had much go his way since scoring in October but he was still in contention when unseating three out over fences last time in a race won by Dunkerque; now 10lb better off with that rival and he should be competitive given a change in fortune; forecast rain is a concern though.

Strike-rate of 5-13 over hurdles and he's rated 10lb lower as a chaser (0-5); however, hasn't offered a lot in this discipline and it's over a year since he last went chasing.

Doc McCoy

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Jamie Snowden

Strike-rate of 5-12 over hurdles and won easily at Warwick (2m5f, good) before pulling up at Ascot in October; he does have a bit to prove off this mark even if returning in good order.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Nicky Henderson; point/bumper winner but he's 0-7 over hurdles and has shown mixed form in two runs over fences for current yard; wasn't beaten when third of four at Wetherby (1m7f, good) in November but he was well held when 20-1 at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) last month; now drops back in trip but he's hard to predict and comes with risks attached; tongue-tie worn last time is removed.
