Won over 2m here last March but nothing in two runs this season and there are stamina doubts; the return of a hood (fitted for that win) could help.

Form & Verdict
Consistent C&D winner who returned from a break with a fair third at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month; has won on good ground on the Flat; could improve for that latest outing and he's a possible player.

Hurdle/Flat winner; wasn't at his best on the Flat following a break at Catterick last month but should come on for the run; conditions fine; quite interesting on chase debut.

Made it two wins in a row when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in December and he's continued in good form, finishing second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last time; holds very solid claims.

His defeat of Double Oban at Wetherby on Boxing Day now reads really well and he's since finished right on the scene in two visits here; remains on a good mark and has a lot less to prove than many of these; trip/ground ideal.

Failed to threaten in either bumper and well beaten at 150-1 on her three hurdle runs; however, this half-sister to pretty useful performer Olivers Travels goes handicapping off a basement mark; one to watch in betting.

Not easy to make a case for but she didn't run badly when fourth on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m, good) last March and may have needed the run on her reappearance there (2m, soft) last month; there's stamina in her pedigree and she might be able to take a step forward now up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent but finished second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) in November and got off the mark at the ninth attempt when wearing first-time cheekpieces at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) last month; this 6yo could have more to offer in the retained headgear and is firmly in calculations.

Won at 22-1 on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in September on first run since May; disappointing at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October but often runs well after a break and he could be in the mix.
