Form & Verdict
Still lightly raced after only seven runs but has been safely held in two handicaps for new stable this year, more recently when third of five over C&D (good) on chasing debut three weeks ago; needs to up his game today.

Close second in this race last year; prevailed at Bangor (2m1f, good to soft) most recently, bouncing back from a poor effort and taking record since wearing cheekpieces to 2-4; likely player in the retained headgear.

Won narrowly at Ffos Las last month (2m, heavy) but his tailed-off run back there 20 days ago was a reminder of his inconsistency; he's capable, and on this ground, but comes with risks.

Form & Verdict
Now 5lb lower than when making all in small-field chase at Ayr (2m, good) for Lucinda Russell 13 months ago but looked badly out of sorts on his three starts for Dan Skelton during the winter and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on recent debut for latest new stable (breathing issue reported); needs refitted tongue-tie to make a big difference.

J: Sean Bowen

T: L J Morgan

Free-goer who was useful in his prime and was in front before last-fence fall over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and, providing his confidence has not been affected, he's an obvious contender.

J: Micheal Nolan

Should be well handicapped and he ran well for a long way when a 4l third behind Jet Of Dreams at Chepstow (2m, good); perhaps went off a bit too hot that day and has to be of interest.

Form & Verdict
5-15 over fences (including two good-ground wins); lacked fluency and was slightly disappointing when returned to chasing at Bangor (2m1f, good) a fortnight ago but a subsequent 3lb drop is helpful and he can be very dangerous here if the first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect.

Goes well here, gaining fourth course success with a narrow verdict in March (2m3f, soft); beaten 8l behind L'Empire Vert off this 4lb higher mark on his return visit but he was held up in a race that favoured those ridden handier; good chance.

Consistent since switched to fences in the autumn and deserved his win at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in February; needs to prove himself on today's forecast good ground but is suited by this C&D and features prominently in calculations.
