Form & Verdict
Four-time hurdle winner who looked as good as ever when close second to progressive rival here (2m3f, soft) in November; never out of last place in five-runner Exeter novice (2m1f, soft) on last month's chasing debut and clearly needs to do better here but the move back up in trip will suit.

On a long losing run but she wasn't discredited on the back of wind surgery when fourth of six in 2m3f Warwick handicap 60 days ago; possibilities off a falling mark.

J: Dillon Butler

T: Andrew J Martin

Runner-up at Ludlow last February and now 8lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled to get competitive since; has had wind surgery since last time, which needs to make a big difference.

Form & Verdict
Placed twice over hurdles this season and stayed on well to win by 5l over C&D (heavy) when back over fences last month; probably still on a workable mark after 5lb rise; obvious contender.

J: Ellis Collier

T: Bernard Llewellyn

Has been struggling for form since reappearing in October and offered little encouragement on April's return from just over two months off; has come a long way down in the weights and drops into a Class 5, but that's for good reason and he needs to turn things around.

All three hurdle wins have come over C&D but he failed to beat a rival here in December and was tailed off again at Ffos Las in January; overall record is now 4-48 and others are preferred.

J: Sean Houlihan

T: Bernard Llewellyn

Veteran who is normally suited by Chepstow but failed to beat a rival back there last time; not particularly solid on his form this season.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 126

Form & Verdict
Consistent in defeat over hurdles last season and built upon his encouraging seasonal/chase/handicap debut when wide-margin winner of three-runner beginners' chase at Haydock (2m, heavy) last month; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but he's of strong interest here nevertheless.

Low-mileage 7yo who won three-runner beginners' chase on heavy ground during the winter; probably raced too close to hot pace when weakening fifth in Cartmel race won by Al Zaraqaan last month, and may still have potential.
