Front-runner who was beaten 9l when last of the three finishers at Ayr (2m, soft) in January; however, he's been dropped a handy 3lb since and is capable of better judged on last season's evidence; not written off.

J: Bruce Lynn

Made it two wins for the season when scoring over C&D (soft) in January and bounced back from lesser run here when 1l second of five over C&D (soft) last month; could give another good account but he needs to be better than ever back up in grade if he's to win today.

Form & Verdict
Useful on the Flat so no surprise that he's come good over hurdles, winning a novice at Wetherby (good to soft) and following up under a penalty on handicap debut at Catterick (soft); that was a weak race but he did it very easily; has another penalty with James Robottom again claiming 10lb.

Form & Verdict
Multiple Flat winner and quite smart; impressed on hurdling debut 11 months ago but rather disappointing in her first handicap a month ago when easy to back, especially as she'd run well on the Flat the time before; could be given another chance.

Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected.
