Crack Ops

11st 0lb

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

A fair bumper winner who has shown similar form when placed on all his three runs in this sphere, though he made mistakes when second of seven in 2m4f Bangor handicap four weeks ago; cheekpieces worn there are left off and he can't be ruled out.

J: Charlie Todd

Useful bumper form on good ground, winning at Ludlow and sixth of 16 at Cheltenham (Listed); yet to replicate that over hurdles but chased home an unexposed Henderson horse here last time; handicap debut.

Three-time hurdle winner and the winner of two chases; not at her best in two runs over hurdles earlier this year after a break and now returns from another.

Spot On Soph

10st 10lb

J: Jonathan England

T: Sam England

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted.

Resumed winning ways in 2m7f handicap here in June but a well-held 12th at Uttoxeter (2m7f) following month; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back.

Rock Hurley

J: William Maggs

T: Donald McCain

Gained both British wins at Bangor, latterly when making all (2m7f, good) four weeks ago; remains unexposed over this sort of trip and is probably still on a workable mark after recent 4lb rise; high on the list.

Uneven chasing profile looks better once pared down to just efforts at or around 2m4f; chance on the form of his last-time Ffos Las second off 1lb lower, though jumping late on wasn't all it could have been.

Record of 0-4 since switched to fences but shaped better than bare result with blinkers fitted at Exeter (3m) most recently; drop back in trip looks ideal; could go well.
