Form & Verdict
10yo who was inconsistent last season and pulled up at Southwell on last month's reappearance, but the good to soft ground may not have been ideal; runner-up over C&D on heavy going last March and could have a part to play now back on a testing surface.

Form & Verdict
French chase winner (very soft) who was a fair fifth over C&D (good to soft) in November when back over fences for his second stable start; only five and could build on that latest run now back down in grade; a possible.

Inconsistent for new stable last season but ran well before fading into third in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury (2m, good) in March and has good claims in this easier race if the headgear continues to aid.

Jetronic

11st 2lb

J: Caoilin Quinn

T: Gary & Josh Moore

In and out since coming to Britain from France, but he shaped quite well when fifth of nine over C&D in November (good to soft; Beau Balko second) and he's now 7lb lower; shaped better than the bare result (made a bad mistake) when fourth of seven at Stratford 12 days ago; needs to put everything together but first-time cheekpieces and a returning tongue-strap could help.

Form & Verdict
His wins have come over 2m/2m1f and he posted some fair efforts over 3m last spring; continues to drop down the weights but he was well beaten on last month's reappearance at Haydock and this 10yo isn't as good as he was; needs a boost from the first-time visor.

He's now 5lb lower than when winning at Newbury (2m, soft) last February; however, this season's form has been patchy and today's trip may stretch him; major turnaround needed with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Returning from an absence when edging home in this 12 months ago off 2lb higher; his penultimate effort (here in first-time cheekpieces) was respectable and it's perhaps best to forget Sandown last time when his best form has been on left-handed tracks; respected.

Four chase wins, the latest from the front off reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in February; just a respectable third of five at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month but could be hard to catch if able to dominate here.

Form & Verdict
Ex-French 7yo who got off the mark at Ludlow last month (2m, good to soft; by 10l) and comfortably defied a 9lb rise at Taunton (2m2f, good) eight days later; different ground today and she's up in grade, but she did it very easily last time and a further 9lb rise could underestimate her.
