Form & Verdict
Not an instant success over fences, but has got his act together this year and drew clear to win easily by 19l at Exeter (2m3f, soft) last month; hiked up 10lb for that but still well handicapped on older hurdling form; commands respect.

Added to his strong chase record at Exeter with a win over the extended 2m1f there (good to soft) in January; just as good when runner-up over 2m4f on heavy at Wincanton since; bold show likely off the same mark.

8 yo Mare

Form & Verdict
Looked in excellent nick when last in action last spring, making all to score by 11l at Ludlow (2m4f, good), but has fitness to prove here and the slower ground is probably not in her favour.

Possible to forgive last month's stable/seasonal debut, in which she did too much out in front over a trip longer than optimum; more in her favour here, and 2lb below her one winning mark; some appeal.

Just 1-13 over fences but she rallied well to finish runner-up off a similar mark at Hereford (2m5f, good) in October; returns for new yard but she has run well when fresh in the past and looks worth another try at this trip; in the mix with Sean Bowen booked.

6 yo Mare

OR: 104

Form & Verdict
Ex-French mare who has a somewhat mixed record for her new stable this season; stuck to her task well when second at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February but was last of four at Leicester (2m, soft) last month and is not an easy one to predict.

Twice well beaten since winning by a huge margin at Bangor in November (2m4f, heavy; four ran); she's another who loves the mud (good to soft the last twice) so should give her running if nothing else.

Doubled chasing tally with huge-margin success in four-runner contest at Bangor (2m4f, heavy) in November and made audacious bid from the front before weakening into eighth in big field at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; didn't run particularly well on her previous visit to Fakenham but could take some catching if she gets into a good rhythm.

Took a good while to win over fences and that was in a four-runner race at Leicester (2m4f, soft; 2lb lower); held by Lime Drop on their clash in January and could have run better last time.

Form & Verdict
0-6 since switched to fences this season, but runner-up in three consecutive starts over C&D (heavy) in recent weeks; nudged up to career-high mark today but is likely to be right in the thick of things again.

Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain.

Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer.

Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected.
