Form & Verdict
Five wins over hurdles and on the Flat (including on Tapeta) for Keith Dalgleish and was having his first start back with his former trainer when beaten a neck by an in-form rival in a 0-60 handicap over C&D five days ago; much respected if repeating that.

Form & Verdict
2-24 for Ben Haslam including a win here (1m) and finished a close fourth over the same trip in a 0-60 handicap last September, hasn't built on it in four starts since and now starts off for a new trainer, but he drops to this level for the first time and the return to further not an issue; considered.

Form & Verdict
Five wins in his career including two here (1m2f/1m4f) and has mostly been running well in defeat on Tapeta since returning from 274 days off in December; tends to give away ground at the start, but he is likely to run his race so ought to make his presence felt.

Reached a place for the first time on his 13th start when beaten around half a length into third in a similar contest at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) ten days ago; looked worth stepping back up in trip there, but another frame finish may be his best hope.

Not shown much in two starts for this yard since returning from 612 days off in December and may be better on Polytrack, but he drops to this level for the first time so makes the shortlist for that reason alone.
