Form & Verdict
Out of form this season and has plenty to prove, but he posted two easy wins over C&D (soft) early last year, including in this race, and he's dropped below his last winning mark; cheekpieces (worn for last four wins but absent on last three starts) return; not written off now back here.

Form & Verdict
Won easily at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day on her second stable start; underwhelming fourth back there (2m7f, good) three weeks ago but she's better than that and could bounce back with a bold show.

19 races for two wins, the latest in January 2025; creditable minor honours on all four starts this season, albeit as favourite on first three occasions; one of those was under Harriet Tucker; stays 3m2f and will probably be thereabouts.

Two wins overall (latest in January 2025) and ran creditably for third on her three starts this season, albeit as favourite on all three occasions; tried a visor last time but her usual cheekpieces return today; should have another prominent finish.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 107

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in two maiden hurdles (2m3f/2m5f, good) last spring and back to form when going close under Rob Hargreaves at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) on his second handicap start; takes sizeable step up in trip today but he stayed on well over 2m5f last May and there's stamina in his pedigree; chance.

Has taken well to fences this term and opened his account when scoring over C&D (soft) in January; ran up to that form when runner-up back over C&D and at Kempton since and must hold sound claims.

Back in much better form with a success and creditable second at Plumpton (3m1f) in last two starts; still has low mileage over fences and may be capable of further progress; upped in grade but receives plenty of weight all round; possibilities.

J: Mr Hezekiah March

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Won over hurdles here (2m4f, good) last spring and he made it third time lucky over fences when landing a C&D handicap (soft) last month; up 5lb but he hit a clear personal with that comfortable win and he's still unexposed at this trip; strong contender.

Form & Verdict
Placed in a 3m point and showed improved form when upped to an extended 2m5f and going close at Fontwell a fortnight ago (soft); galloped on gamely last time to drew clear of the third and could take another step forward now upped further in distance; player.

0-8 over hurdles but returned from 11-month break with fairly good second here (2m5f, good to soft; no match for winner) 12 days ago and could plausibly still have untapped potential over this longer trip.

Very nearly won over C&D last January and that was only three starts ago; feasible excuses since then as probably failed to stay 3m1f and then bled here when last seen a year ago; ability respected but there are wellbeing issues after so long out.

Continues to edge down the weights and she was a fair sixth on her reappearance at Worcester last August, but three lesser runs have followed and she needs to get back on track.

Not particularly solid on this season's form but record suggests she's a spring mare and this looks the time to catch her; attractively handicapped, being 8lb below the mark of her sole handicap success.

Form & Verdict
His form can be up and down but he won two in a row over hurdles last July/November (3m2f/3m1f, good to soft) and went close over fences at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve; didn't see out 3m3f in a heavy-ground chase at Fontwell a fortnight and he's respected under more suitable conditions today.

Seemingly boosted by changed of headgear when winning twice over hurdles last year (3m2f/3m1f, good to soft) but his two runs this year (chase/hurdle) have been below par and he needs to bounce back again.
