Form & Verdict
Didn't show much on turf at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) 15 days ago and took his Tapeta record to 0-17 at Southwell the time before, but his record at this track reads 311 including winning this race last year; 5lb lower than when successful at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January and may get his own way out in front; respected.

Very well suited by 2m on Polytrack and lurks on a tempting mark but has looked out of sorts in recent months; needs to turn a corner.

Form & Verdict
Won over C&D for Mark Johnston in April 2021 and ran really well on his return from 700 days off when fourth of 11 at Kempton (2m, Polytrack; 150-1) 15 days ago; may have been flattered, though, as he was allowed a soft lead so he needs to back that effort up.

J: James Best

Won low-grade 2m AW handicap on latest outing in October but hasn't run over hurdles since 33l defeat on handicap debut at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in February last year, and his profile is somewhat unconvincing.

Can front-run; 7yo who has had 16 starts, with his sole win coming over this C&D in April 2021; off since below-form third of five at Lingfield (2m, AW) in June and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Three wins with cheekpieces added on the AW this spring, the latest over C&D in April; needs to leave two moderate efforts on turf behind him, but that's possible.

Won three 2m handicaps on AW in the spring, the third of them off today's mark; absent since a heavy defeat at Lingfield four months ago; may need more of a test.

Form & Verdict
Four wins for Karl Burke, the last two over similar trips to this on the AW, but he made a low-key stable debut when last of nine at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) 16 days ago; probably needed the run and this trip should suit better, but headgear (in which he gained all of his wins) is still missing.

Hold-up performer with a poor strike-rate; close fifth at Kempton (2m) last time in a race that wasn't run to suit and the prospect of another steady pace reduces his appeal.

Hold-up performer who is hard to win with (4-44) and needs everything to fall right, which didn't happen when a never-dangerous third at Southwell last month; capable but not without risk.

Form & Verdict
Sole success in 14 starts came at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) in January, but she stays further as she showed when beaten a head and a neck into third of six here (1m5f) four weeks ago; attempts this far for the first time, but this seems unlikely to be run at a searching pace and respected off the same mark as for her latest outing.
