Started off for Grace Harris in good form in February/March, most notably when gaining breakthrough win at Exeter (2m7f, good); now only 1lb above that mark but hasn't fired lately and comes here with a bit to prove.

14th attempt when he shed his maiden status in handicap at Exeter (2m7f, good) in February; ran creditably next time and although latest (when good to soft ground should not have been an issue) saw him well beaten, that was a warm race and he's one to consider with his sights lowered again.

Belatedly shed his maiden status in fairly decisive fashion at Exeter (2m7f, good) but he couldn't cope with the penalty in a better race at Newbury (behind Hyland); 3lb lower for this but career-best form is demanded.

Bumper winner who made a successful debut over hurdles at Warwick 11 months ago (3m1f, good); placed in all six handicaps and should run his race once again but suspicion there will be something better treated lurking.

Won at Warwick (3m1f, good) on hurdle debut right at start of this season and, following a six-month break, has been placed six consecutive times since, the last five times in handicaps (cheekpieces added last time); effective on soft ground (untested on heavy); likely to be right in the thick of things again.

Soft-ground bumper winner who followed up on hurdle debut here (3m1f, good) last May; has run well in defeat in handicaps on last four starts and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will eke out something extra; player.

Only 1-28 and the win was in 2018; he's been bang there on most starts this season, however, and went down by a short head at Exeter on latest when the front two went 13l clear; 4lb higher today but needs respect.

Only 1-26 and the win came in 2018; running well, though, and gave it a good go from the front at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) two weeks ago when behind Island Run; quite high in the weights but should give his running.
