14-1, well down the field on handicap debut at Doncaster in January; lots to prove after that but this lightly raced 7yo has shown some ability and is in top hands; things may click at some point and not written off.

Regressive 10yo who has poor completion rate over fences since returning from layoff in November; stopped the rot with fairly respectable hurdle run last month but needs to build on that performance here; swaps visor for refitted cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Mixed form in bumpers and novice hurdles during light career for Evan Williams and well beaten in December when last seen; sold for £11,000 the following month; however, he now goes handicapping for a trainer enjoying a productive March and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Won over hurdles at Newcastle last March and continued in good form on the Flat in the spring; however, he's been tailed off on his three hurdle starts since November and a major turnaround is needed.

Four wins over hurdles; had few chances on the Flat but she won at Ayr in September (1m5f, soft) and showed better form when third over 1m7f 11 days later; still has some potential in this sphere and a hurdle run last month should have sharpened her up; might need more of a stamina test than this though.
