Form & Verdict
Made mistakes during short previous stint over fences in summer 2022, and pulled up on last run in this sphere; however, he won over C&D (good) that June and has shown some good form over hurdles this season (not seen to best effect over 3m on heavy latest); not ruled out now back chasing.

Won three chases for Ollie Murphy, two of them three-runner races over C&D; yet to win for current yard but he was a creditable third at Stratford (2m5f, good) when last seen in October; all wins on good ground.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Jake Thomas Coulson

Won on good ground at Southwell (2m4f) and Uttoxeter (2m5f) in final two runs for Olly Murphy; no impact in four starts for current yard but he wasn't beaten far in a Class 2 at Bangor (3m) last time and is now back on last winning mark; could be dangerous with Sean Bowen booked on this drop back in trip and grade.

Form & Verdict
Won at Doncaster (2m, good) last month and close second of three there since (2m, good); won over an extended 2m3f over hurdles; he's a Doncaster specialist but has shown promise elsewhere and is a leading candidate if his good form continues on his first visit here.

Hit prolonged flat spots before keeping on for modest fourth over 2m on latest two appearances, the latest at Warwick this month; on a good mark now and this step back up in trip could be the right move but it remains to be seen whether Jack Quinlan can keep him in touch this time.

Only 1-9 over fences but runner-up four times; seems best at Doncaster but on a fair mark and he's able when fresh; Cobden booked.

Tommy Cullen

11st 7lb

J: Jack Quinlan

T: Matt Crawley

Probably best known for his exploits at Doncaster; won in good style there (2m, good) in February but has fitness to prove after 220-day break and his record at this track is not good.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row at the end of last year (3m/2m4f, good/good to soft); soft ground perhaps hasn't been ideal the last twice but he was a fair third at Wetherby most recently and the return to a better surface today could be just what he needs.
