Form & Verdict
Delivered on earlier hurdling promise when eased-down winner of soft-ground C&D maiden last month; faces much tougher assignment under top weight in this handicap but still features prominently in calculations.

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Mark Walford

Now 7lb lower than when placed at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but looked very unenthusiastic before eventually keeping on for fourth there (2m, good to soft) last month and was pulled up in first-time visor (retained) on latest outing.

Form & Verdict
Placed a few times in low-grade Flat handicaps last year and has taken pretty well to hurdling this winter; no match for Final Edgar when second in C&D (soft) maiden last month but he's 10lb better off with him today.

Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to win by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has performed fairly well on all three outings since (2m-2m1f); worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away.

Sometimes races a bit too freely but made all to score by 13l at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April and has also performed well on both subsequent outings (once over C&D); refitted cheekpieces are the headgear of choice today; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Made promising rules debut when placed in Musselburgh maiden (2m4f, good to soft) in December and significant positives can also be taken from his Doncaster fourth (2m, good) in January; ideally needs to learn to settle better but the first-time hood can help in that regard on this handicap debut; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
Gave good account when close second at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and last month's lesser effort on heavy ground there probably shouldn't be viewed harshly but his hurdling strike-rate is modest (1-16) and others have more persuasive profiles.

Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft); well beaten here last month, after a layoff, and Miss Maverick is unlikely to allow him an uncontested lead today but, nevertheless, his course record can't be ignored.

Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft), including the last two editions of this race; absent since poor Flat run in October but there's a good chance he'll be primed to make a bold bid from the front today.

T: Ben Haslam

C&D winner (good to soft); returns to this code after a successful spell over hurdles; was below par when seen here (1m6f, good to firm) in June but it would be no surprise to see him closely involved now on slower ground, back up in trip and from 2lb lower.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over C&D (soft) in November and completed his hat-trick at Haydock (2m3f, heavy) the following month; seems to have gone off the boil lately, though, and never really got competitive (albeit in stronger race than this) at Wetherby 12 days ago.
