10st 11lb |
On a reduced mark and he took a step back in the right direction when 14l second to well-treated winner at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) in November; however, he weakened quickly over 3m1f at Catterick (soft) in January so there's a stamina doubt today, and he refused to line up on his latest intended start (withdrawn; 3-1 at the time); a hood is added. |

Dual course winner; non-stayer over 3m1f back here last week; only a modest fifth in this contest 12 months ago but is 18lb lower this time; attractively handicapped. |

Remains below his best despite finishing runner-up over 2m5f at Market Rasen (good to soft) when ultimately no match for the winner; all his best form is over shorter distances than this; cheekpieces added. |

13yo who has a poor 2-39 strike-rate under rules and is without a win since June 2022; however, he's finished in the first three on two of his last three starts and holds each-way possibilities once more. |

10st 13lb |
Began chasing career with two wins (one over 2m3f here) for Ali Stronge in early 2022; off the track for 523 days before respectable fourth over hurdles on last month's stable debut and looks interesting now back over fences and with that outing under her belt. |

9yo point winner who is 0-7 under rules but there were encouraging signs over fences last winter and he shaped on his comeback over hurdles two months ago as though he would improve for that run; he's one to consider. |

Sole win (22 races under rules) came over fences in December 2021; well down the weights now and he was placed twice early this year but pulled up on final start last season (made mistakes in first-time blinkers) and same again on reappearance three weeks ago; bit to prove. |

3m winner here in late 2022 when a stone higher in the weights; a series of disappointing runs followed and now he's hard to trust; tried cheekpieces and a tongue-tie during that time and now goes in a visor. |

Won at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) last November and well treated on that form; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he's been pulled up the last twice; plenty to prove. |

Two chase wins wins at 2m1f (good to soft and soft) in early 2024; back on latest winning mark as a result of some lesser efforts, in cheekpieces last twice, but has something to prove at present. |

13yo who needs to prove he retains ability, having shown little in two outings this season; on a three-year losing spell and yet to win away from Huntingdon; 24lb out of the weights; opposed. |

Veteran whose last win was off 4lb higher in this race back in 2021 (good to soft); fair third at Hereford last April (2m, good to soft) but faces a stiff tack from 4lb out of the handicap on going softer than ideal. |
