Form & Verdict
Well-held fourth in his first three runs over hurdles but he found improvement when justifying support on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a convincing win under Rian Corcoran and he's open to more progress at this new trip; key player.

Won on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January and followed up at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy), both under Rian Corcoran; when third at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) it maybe came too soon, just six days after the Wincanton win; 7lb higher mark has now kicked in but he may still have more to offer.

Immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps and deployment of Rian Corcoran, the pair obliging at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) and Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) with something in hand each time; unpenalised for the latter, and obvious case assuming the six-day turnround isn't too quick.

Form & Verdict
Bumper winner who landed the odds in a Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in October; runner-up in two of his three handicaps since, including at Ascot (extended 2m3f) in November and Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's respected at this new trip.

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Low-mileage 5yo who won a good-ground Ffos Las maiden (2m) in the autumn and has finished second in two heavy-ground handicaps this year, the latter over 2m5f here; there's a good chance this new trip-and-ground combination will also suit, so he goes on the shortlist.

Won Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in October; went close on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November and form of last month's Kempton fifth (2m, good) has worked out well; big player if handling today's ground (raced only on good).

Form & Verdict
Won a heavy-ground handicap at Leicester (1m7f) in December but he's finished tailed off at Wincanton (1m7f/2m4f) in his last two runs; didn't jump well on his chase debut last time but he needs a major revival back in this sphere.

Goes on all ground; unseated four out when favourite at Wincanton last time; had been in career-best form with a win at Wincanton (1m7f) and a second at Taunton (2m3f); even more needed here, however.

In career-best form this month, winning from off the pace over C&D (good to soft) before running a big race in defeat at Taunton (2m3f, good); likely to give Daisy White a good spin on her first ride under rules.

Landed a gamble when winning by 6l at Exeter (2m5f, soft) on New Year's Day, his second run after a long absence, but misbehaved and looked unenthusiastic on recent chasing debut; quickly switches back to hurdling here; has a point to prove.
