Form & Verdict
Front-runner who returned from seven-month break with 7l win in first-time visor over C&D (good to firm) last month; only 3lb higher than for that success but he failed to repeat the form when a remote fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good); that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Front-runner who returned from seven-month break with 7l win in first-time visor at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month; only 4lb higher here but the market principals in that race disappointed and the form is of questionable value; raced mainly on good ground but has won on good to soft and been placed on soft.

Form & Verdict
Made it 4-15 over fences when forging clear to win by 9l at Fakenham (2m5f, good) last month; that was in a small field but he hit a personal best with that success and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected.

J: Jack Quinlan

T: Ben Case

Consistent chaser who was better than ever in dominating a small field at Fakenham two runs back (2m5f185yds, good); didn't run badly in defeat last time and off a light weight he could have a part to play.

3-14 over fences, the latest win gained at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November; just a respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) this month, his second start after a layoff, and remains on fairly tough mark but still enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Point and dual hurdle winner who made 2-7 in fences when landing the odds in a mares' handicap at Worcester (2m4f, good; tongue-tie added) 23 days ago; jumped well under a positive ride in that race and she's a big player off only 2lb higher here.

1-6 over fences; returned to form of late and although a beaten favourite when runner-up at Fakenham (2m5f, good) last month, that was still a creditable effort; tongue-tie now added; the one to beat.

Suffered dip in form after quite impressive win on chase/handicap debut in the autumn but was back on song when close third in valuable mares' chase at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; in much calmer waters here and ought to be hard to beat.

Form & Verdict
12yo who recorded his tenth point when scoring on his comeback at Kingston Blount (3m, good) last month; this is his only his third run under rules but his first two resulted in a win and second in hunter chases and latest was over C&D; could go well back in this sphere and he's not ruled out on handicap debut.

Lacked fluency and was well beaten when back under rules at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month but has good strike-rate in points (10-22) and can't be ruled out off current handicap mark.
