Beaten about 8l in bumpers at Lingfield (AW) and Catterick (good to soft); may need more if he's to make it third time lucky but that's feasible.

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Bumper winner who made the frame in his first two runs over hurdles before a disappointing effort at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October, after which he underwent wind surgery; returned from a break to finish a solid third over C&D last month and, still unexposed, may have more to offer now switching to handicaps.

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Bumper winner; placed form over hurdles and he's had wind surgery since a poor run at Fakenham in October; has to be considered in this modest a race.

11st 4lb

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Placed on both hurdling starts, more recently when second of five at Warwick (2m, good) this month; ought to give another good account here but his form isn't anything to get too excited about.

Form & Verdict
Well related; it wasn't a strong Listed bumper in which he finished midfield at Cheltenham but that was still an encouraging start; improvement is on the cards.

Bumper winner who landed his second race over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; shapes as though he'll be suited by this step up in distance; respected.

J: Chad Bament

T: Anthony Honeyball

2m maiden hurdle (good) winner here in January; disappointed on heavy ground over C&D after but bounced back when a staying-on third on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m, good) last time, suggesting he'd be worth another try at this trip; respected back in a novice with Chad Bament claiming 7lb.

11st 8lb

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Anthony Honeyball

Bumper winner who was well on top late on to win a Taunton maiden on good ground in January; highly likely that heavy ground didn't float his boat when tailed off back there under a penalty; doesn't look hurled in for this first handicap but he wouldn't be exposed yet.

Form & Verdict
Both runs at Huntingdon; held up in a slowly run race on debut and was never dangerous, while when beaten further back there last month he was partnered by a 10lb claimer; should have a better effort in him.
