Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 8yo who opened his account, despite being well out of the weights, at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) last week on handicap debut and return from 12-month absence; described as "fragile" by trainer and may be affected by the bounce factor turned out quickly; otherwise appears to have a cracking chance, with future mark 8lb higher.

Three-time hurdle winner; safely held on both outings (cheekpieces refitted last time) since returning in November from a break but suited by slow ground and might be perked up by first-time blinkers; worth a glance in the betting.

Form & Verdict
Showed encouraging signs last spring/summer but form has dipped in two runs this winter, taking record to 0-7; however, this combination of drop in class and new headgear may prompt a turnaround; not dismissed.

Belied 33-1 odds when close third of six on handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in February but his run at Ayr (2m4f, soft) soon afterwards was slightly less good, and we haven't seen him again since.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who has mixed results and is difficult to assess with confidence; however, has shown some promise and may be capable of improvement now handicapping at run-of-the-mill level.

Irish hurdler who justified favouritism at Down Royal (2m1f, soft; drew clear run-in) last week, building on his promising reappearance effort (2m4f); has low mileage and looks likely to progress further; leading player even with 7lb penalty.

125-1 and never a factor at Aintree last time; won't find it as hard to adopt her preferred position at or near the early speed here, but barely stays 3m (sole win at that trip came at Askham Bryan's very sharp circuit) and has further still to go here.

Easily won a maiden hunter chase at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last May; didn't run badly at Fakenham (3m, soft) in February but well beaten at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) since and she would be a shock winner.

Won by wide-margin at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last spring and ran big race when second to once-smart rival at Fakenham (3m, soft) last month; it's quite tricky to weigh up what that recent piece of form is worth but, nevertheless, she's respected here.
