W: 12st 0lb

8 yo Gelding

OR: 100

Form & Verdict
Overall record of 0-26 but he has form form figures of 3322 for current yard and that latest second was at this track (2m3f, good) last month; seems fairly versatile ground-wise and he should go well again back up in trip.

OR: 88

Form & Verdict
Recorded his second win over fences when justifying favouritism to beat a clear second at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to firm) last month; 7lb higher in different conditions here but that was a personal best last time and he ran well over 2m5f at Fontwell (good to soft) in August; key player.

Won twice for Olly Murphy in the autumn and subsequently sold for 5,500gns; hasn't been in the same form in three runs for his current trainer; cheekpieces worn on his last three starts are dispensed with on this step up in trip; still has time on his side but all of a sudden has a bit to prove.

In good form for Olly Murphy in the autumn, winning in blinkers at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to firm) and Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft), but soundly beaten in cheekpieces (retained) at Warwick for new stable twice since and now has a point to prove.

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run when scoring at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in January but that was by a nose and this veteran has been well held in three subsequent runs; others preferred.

12yo whose form can be up and down but he's won on his last two visits to Catterick (soft/good), the latest over C&D last month when beating Mersey Street by a short head; he's a player if backing up that effort.

13 yo Gelding

OR: 81

Form & Verdict
His last three wins have been on slow ground at this track (2m5f/2m3f) and he ended last year with a gritty success over a clear second; returns after almost a year off but he's only 3lb higher than last time and conditions should be ideal; in the mix.

Decline in fortunes over fences last season wasn't arrested by a switch to front-running; brave to name this the day given he's 0-15 now, but new career-low mark is notably 8lb lower than when last trying hurdles.

Point winner who is 0-20 under rules but he was only beaten around 5l in a Fontwell handicap (2m3f, good) in his final run in the spring; has run well when fresh before and he could get involved on his return.
