Four-time hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences (despite a lower mark) and was beaten a good way at Hexham (3m) on his return to this discipline after a break; the other two appeal more.

Four-time hurdle winner, including over 2m on heavy ground here; decent second over fences at Sedgefield in October (3m2f, good) but last two runs have been over hurdles (took a heavy fall when running well last time); a possible.

Had a break since finishing lame when second on his return to hurdles at Newcastle in October (2m7f, good; handles softer); looks high in the weights now but he's likeably consistent.

Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick early last season; comfortably regained the winning thread in conditional jockeys' event at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) last week; cracking chance off same mark (escapes a penalty).

J: Miss Olive Nicholls

The four-timer came up short when a close second to Pounding Poet over 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good) but that was no backward step; a 2lb nudge does her no favours but this C&D winner is shortlisted.

J: Miss Olive Nicholls

Progressive mare who kept on resolutely to win similar race to this over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) last month and has now won three in a row; another 7lb higher today but still makes obvious appeal.

J: Finn Lambert

T: Georgina Nicholls

Completed a hat-trick early last season and better than ever on her latest two starts for wins at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) and Warwick (3m2f, good); up 6lb into a much more competitive race and wears first-time cheekpieces after a fairly workmanlike display from the front last time.

Form & Verdict
Not solid on hurdles form; however, gained two point wins under James King this winter (beaten favourite last time) and therefore looks quite interesting on handicap debut back under rules.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Only 3lb higher than the mark he won off over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer and he's a dual point winner who should make a chaser; below par last time but after quite a break.

J: Mr Sean O’Connor

T: Charlie Longsdon

Dual point winner who came good under rules for Max Comley at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time visor) last summer; absent since a lesser effort the following month and goes without a visor here but still worth a glance in the betting on this stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Has registered both wins in summer and returns from eight-month absence with solid claims, having produced form figures of 122 over hurdles when fresh; market support would heighten interest.

Lost out only by a nose to Orange Diamond over C&D (good) in August but was not quite in same form when fifth behind same rival here last month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon.
