Form & Verdict
14-race maiden under rules but two point wins this year (February/April); unraced beyond 2m5f under rules and the new trip is worth a go following his creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (2m5f, soft) three weeks ago.

Won this race two years ago; as good as ever (after a wind operation) when scoring by over 9l over C&D in November (good) but hasn't offered a great deal since, beaten 22l in staying handicaps at Doncaster and Ascot; others preferred.

Showed the benefit of a wind op and looked as good as ever when scoring by over 9l on seasonal debut at Exeter (2m7f, good) in November; also suited by soft/heavy ground but disappointed when last in action and will probably find younger rivals better handicapped here.

J: Ben Godfrey

Weakened quickly and was pulled up on consecutive outings during the winter but looked back in much better nick when respectable sixth at Newbury (3m, good to soft) last month; another 2lb lower here; contender if able to build on that recent effort.

8 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Did well in bumpers on heavy; has rather a mixed record in six-race hurdles career but runner-up in three, including from the front over 2m4f here (good) in May when last seen; ran respectably on sole attempt at this sort of trip; needs improvement but his yard is in tremendous form.

jumped right on occasions, pressed leader, prominent 6th, niggled along briefly with one circuit to go, not fluent 9th, ridden and dropped to last 10th, rallied and went second again approaching last, kept on run-in, weakened towards finish

Has rather mixed record over hurdles but chased home a useful rival in Chepstow novice (2m, good to soft) in November and put his disappointing handicap debut behind him when respectable sixth at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in January; can play a significant role here if all goes to plan.

Bumper winner; runner-up in two of his first three attempts over hurdles, the latest in November after a long absence; pulled up on recent handicap debut, however, which leaves a point to prove, as does new trip.

Form & Verdict
Probably acts on heavy; consistent over hurdles, winning off 5lb lower at Chepstow last November and minor honours all four starts since; stays 3m and on the premises if resuming in same vein after 227 days off.

Made all at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; form worked out well) just under a year ago but wasn't seen again until heavy defeat at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in December and needs to have taken significant benefit from that run.

Won when back over hurdles at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last month; beaten 12l into second of 15 when unpenalised at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) nine days later and a 6lb rise has now kicked in, but it was still a creditable effort last time and she can give another good account.
