Form & Verdict
Won twice last season (2m7f/3m) and he's well handicapped on that form; hasn't run badly the last twice but needs a bigger performance today and the drop back in trip isn't an obvious positive; a visor goes on.

Has won three times over fences, the latest over 2m4f here in March last year (good to soft; visored first time); hasn't done quite as well since; stays 3m and on a good mark now.

Form & Verdict
Won here over hurdles and he ran his best race yet over fences when going close over C&D (good to soft) recently; now 8lb better off with the winner Divas Doyen (who is out of the handicap today) and he's one to consider in first-time cheekpieces.

Runner-up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last May and runs off 8lb lower today; however, he struggled on his four starts towards the end of last year; major turnaround required on first run since wind surgery.

J: Conor O’Farrell

Stuck to his task very well when second at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in May but that took his record over fences to 0-7 and he may find this race too competitive; returns without the cheekpieces worn in his three previous races.

8 yo Mare

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
From 7lb out of the handicap she's 11lb higher than when narrowly beating Halpha Soleil over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago, when also under Heidi Palin; however, she's enjoying a solid campaign and this in-form mare could be dangerous to dismiss.

J: Patrick Wadge

T: Sandy Forster

Won two 2m4f chases last season (good/good to soft) and gave good account when clear second over C&D (good to soft) in the autumn; recent defeat from out of the weights can be overlooked and she won't mind if the ground remains soft; good chance.

Form & Verdict
Last season ended with two wins; he hasn't been in the same form this term but perhaps wind surgery will be the catalyst for a revival and he's on his last winning mark; not discounted.

Returned to form to win in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; back up 5lb he remains 2lb lower than when scoring here (2m, heavy) in April 2024 and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten twice in a row (Kelso/Ayr) then pulled up at Musselburgh last month (after wind surgery); however, he won over C&D in October to make it 2-2 here and perhaps the return to Hexham will trigger a revival.

There was no return to form on his two starts this winter; arrives with plenty to prove but he's down to a dangerous mark and, if he is to stage a revival, it's likely to be here where he's posted both victories.

Form & Verdict
11yo who isn't the force of old but he showed spark when second at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) in December and did likewise there (3m, good to soft) on last month's stable debut, when failing to see out the trip; another 4lb lower today and he's not ruled out now back down in distance.

Regressive and inconsistent 11yo; belied triple-digit odds when runner-up in gruelling race at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) in December, his second start for Tim Reed, but the rest of last season's form was disappointing; now back with Tim Reed after two runs for Tristan Davidson; not an easy one to predict.
