Form & Verdict
Has soft-ground form over hurdles (also won on Flat in Ireland on soft/heavy) but two staying hurdle wins for previous yard came on good to soft and good; had a low-key start to time with this yard, over hurdles and on AW, and not yet shifted enough in the weights to expect better today.

Just 1-20 over hurdles for Milton Harris/Anthony Charlton and has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn; starts off for new trainer on a good mark and with conditions to suit but still needs today's headgear switch to perk him up.

Form & Verdict
Three C&D wins; has won on soft but sometimes misses intended runs on the surface and his Stratford second in October was some way ahead of anything else he's achieved in the last year; up against it on current form.

Form & Verdict
Has benefited from the switch to testing conditions and handicaps this winter, making it four from five when in no serious danger at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft; other wins on heavy) in January; now 15lb higher but good chance he will continue on his merry way.

Mark took a severe hit for winning four handicap hurdles last season, with the latest at Hereford a rout (3m1f, good to soft); 14lb higher than that day and lost his form afterwards; should be as good over fences but returns with his yard quiet.
