Form & Verdict
Six-time AW winner and it was a good 1m6f handicap in which he finished a close fifth last week at Chelmsford; tailed off in his three hurdle races but could be a different proposition now handicapping.

J: David Probert

T: James Owen

Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf.

Thriving at present and he followed up 1m6f Chelmsford success in February with an emphatic victory over hurdles at Huntingdon last month; big shout once more.

Form & Verdict
Useful on the Flat but beaten 26l and 16l in two handicaps over hurdles, the latest on good ground here; has to step up but that's realistic.

J: Brian Hughes

T: Patrick Neville

Overall record of 0-16 but he's fairly useful on the Flat and has shown some promise over hurdles, including when second at Southwell (2m, good) two weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he's been dropped another 2lb and is not ruled out.

Lowly rated Flat maiden; beaten 14l and 19l in a pair of 2m good-ground maiden hurdles and this mark looks no gift.

0-9 over hurdles; suggested his turn was near when placed twice over 2m3f during the winter but wasn't quite at same level when fourth on final two starts last season; needs a boost from the new cheekpieces.

Last run wasn't his best but likeable efforts prior to that in handicaps at about 2m3f (good to soft); has more pressing claims than most in here.

Consistent sort who posted a good second of 12 in 2m3f handicap hurdle at Warwick in January; up another 2lb but he's well in the mix again.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Nicky Henderson; has rediscovered his form since the hood went on and fended off one having its first run for James Owen with the two clear at Warwick (2m, good); 6lb rise is fair.
