Form & Verdict
Flat winner (1m4f), who has been progressive since switched to hurdling and followed his handicap win at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in July with a good second at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) on his Boxing Day return; still unexposed in this sphere and he's a big player off only 1lb higher than last time.

5-11 over hurdles but the bulk of those wins have come on soft or heavy ground; sits 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (2m, soft; 9-4, four runners) over Christmas; one of three declared runners for Olly Murphy.

Sedgefield maiden winner (2m1f, soft), who is 0-6 in handicaps but he gave it a good shot from the front when fourth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) on Boxing Day; wasn't far behind Double Oban in that race and has possibilities if he can find something extra.

Form & Verdict
Placed at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in November but he was beaten 18l and that took his overall record to 0-15; returns after another short break and this veteran needs to find more back at this trip; tongue-tie reapplied.

Form & Verdict
11-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles (seventh attempt) when beating his stablemate over C&D on Boxing Day; that was a narrow success in a four-runner race but he was a long way out of the weights and is 5lb lower here; could be dangerous if he can build on that last run.
