Form & Verdict
Seems to go well for Paul Mulrennan, and is only 3lb higher than when springing a 25-1 surprise over C&D in February; likely to be competitive for a place at least if able to settle into a nice, smooth rhythm.

Kept on well when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f; 40-1; from 1lb out of the handicap) penultimate; failed to build on that here next time, but shouldn't be written off on the basis of that single Southwell effort; remains feasibly weighted.

Newcastle regular; in reasonable fettle until a less productive effort there (6f; eighth of 12) last week; competes over 7f (0-5) for the first time since the summer of 2021 which potentially makes him vulnerable; others preferred.

Held his form well since resuming winning ways over C&D in January, and was involved in a three-way tussle here (third, beaten less than 1l) last week; sits 4lb above last winning mark, hence the deployment of 5lb claimer Mark Winn; possibilities.
