Looked very promising in his two bumpers last season and beat a next-time-out winner fairly comfortably on last month's hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m, soft); makes very obvious appeal here. |

Ex-French; consistent 5yo who was on the scene in three hurdle races (soft or heavy) in Britain before asserting when 4-7 in a maiden at Wetherby (extended 2m3f, soft) four weeks ago; his jumping wasn't great there but he has the form to mix it with the other two hurdle winners in this field. |

One of several runners who are still seeking a first win; however, has shown ability at about 2m under rules and pedigree suggests this new trip is a likely source of improvement; could prove best of the maidens and is one for the shortlist. |

Unbeaten since the visor went on but she's back in trip here and needed plenty of persuasion to beat three rivals over nearly 3m here two weeks ago (good); no certainty to defy a big penalty for those handicap wins but clearly a contender. |

Responded well to first-time visor at Stratford (2m6f, good) a fortnight ago, keeping on strongly to win with a bit left in the tank; still unexposed over this sort of trip and has obvious claims if the new headgear continues to aid. |

Lightly raced 6yo who looked a likely handicap prospect on his novice and maiden form at about 2m but his handicap debut in a military riders' race at Sandown (2m, soft; favourite) in January didn't go to plan; still early days though and 2m3f promises to suit on pedigree. |

Beat a good horse in his bumper; the final flight cost him dear on two visits to Newbury (a long way clear when falling on the second occasion) and his jumping wasn't foot-perfect when making all at long odds-on at Uttoxeter (good to soft); however, he won that comfortably despite again pulling hard and he deserves his crack at this level; Kempton should suit him. |
