Form & Verdict
Still a maiden (0-15) but often ran well over hurdles (including here) and he's lightly raced over fences, finishing a fair third the last twice behind rejuvenated winners (2m/2m1f, good to soft); could be involved.

Landed his third success over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) last month after his challenger fell at the last obstacle; up 7lb but still on the upgrade and should not be far away.

1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Sixth of seven, beaten about 7l, on recent handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (2m, good) and he could do with settling better; however, in-form stable wastes little time in sending this lightly raced 7yo over fences and he could improve for the chance of disciplines; possible player.

Form & Verdict
Versatile in terms of trip and posted a close third at Musselburgh last month (2m7f, good to soft; strong form for the grade) before winning a three-runner handicap at Newcastle (2m, good) a fortnight ago; it was a decent race last time, despite the numbers, and he's just 2lb higher here.

Three-time winner over fences for James Ewart (2m-2m4f) but he didn't get going for Olly Murphy and it's been a similar story in two points and a hunter chase (all about 3m) for these connections; the drop back in trip might help, though.

Did well over fences for James Ewart but a beaten favourite in both his runs for Olly Murphy (2m/2m2f handicap chases) and currently has a bit to prove; does stay this far so stamina will be no excuse.

Form & Verdict
Won on stable debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft) on March 3 and followed up there 11 days ago (2m, good to soft); had nearly 5l to spare last time and a 7lb penalty may not stop this thriving 8yo.

Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on chase debut at Southwell in October and had a bit of work to do when falling three out at Newcastle later that month; however, she's had wind surgery since and this lightly raced 6yo could be in the mix if rediscovering the form shown over hurdles last spring; not discounted.

Sole win over hurdles came with similar trip and ground, and she showed she'll be just as effective over fences when third of seven at Haydock (kept on again after being badly hampered) four weeks ago; the youngest in the line-up and commands major respect.

Regressive 9yo who ought to have been favoured by the soft ground when never-dangerous fourth (about 19l behind Dusky Days) here (2m6f) last month; on a very good mark now but needs to stage a revival.

Took step back in right direction when respectable fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month and has the services of James Bowen again here but this regressive 9yo is patently not the force of old; others preferred.
