Upped to an extended 2m7f for his successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December; good second since at Wetherby (3m1f, soft), Fakenham (3m, soft) and Huntingdon (3m2f, good to soft); looks a thorough stayer and he'd have much more to prove on good ground; blinkers replace the cheekpieces worn on those last four starts but he has to be shortlisted.

Upped to an extended 2m7f for his successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December; good second since at Wetherby (3m1f, soft) and Fakenham (3m, soft); major claims with this slog likely to suit him well.

Only her second run in handicaps when collecting at Southwell (3m) but Catterick was a bit disappointing; could bounce back.

Maiden who has made the frame in handicaps, from 2m to 2m5f; whether she'll stay this far remains to be seen and especially on slow ground (best form on good or good to soft).

Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call.

J: Sean Houlihan

Has made the frame in handicaps from 2m to 2m5f; probably failed to stay nearly 3m last time and her previous run at Fakenham wasn't too shoddy; 2lb out of the weights but could play some role here.

5 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Unseated early when visored for his handicap debut and then finished a clear second at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft), having attempted to make all; 6lb higher in future so he'll have every chance if staying this longer trip.

Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt, winning from the front over C&D (good) in first-time cheekpieces last month; subsequent 5lb rise doesn't look excessive and further progress is possible; must be considered.

0-7 over hurdles but ran ran big race from the front when close/clear second over C&D (good to soft) in early February and returns here after pretty good third at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month; visored for recent runs; could be hard to catch if he responds well to first-time cheekpieces.
