J: Ben Jones

T: Ben Pauling

Won at Ascot (2m1f, soft) in December on third chase start and followed up at Sandown (1m7f, good) in January; those wins came in small fields and this is much more competitive, but this lightly raced 7yo did it convincingly both times and it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies.

J: Ben Jones

T: Ben Pauling

Irish point winner who began hurdling career with wins at Huntingdon and Ludlow (both 2m, good to soft) at start of this year; did not fire when upped to Grade 2 level in March but could still have considerable potential and Ben Pauling is evidently very keen to switch him to fences.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Neil Mulholland

2-2 on heavy going; unseated on chase debut in November and her jumping lacked fluency when second of three in Listed mares' novice at Warwick (2m4f) next time; appeared to step up when winning a two-runner beginners' chase at Doncaster (upped to 3m, good) latest, finding a fine leap at the last and keeping on well to make all; should have more to offer.

All six starts on soft/heavy ground; this two-time bumper winner (including here) scored easily at Ffos Las (2m) in December on her second hurdle start before a creditable third of five in a Grade 2 mares' novice at Sandown (2m4f) last month; has potential off her opening mark, if conditions suit.

Close fourth of 17 at in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, good to soft) last March and now 5lb lower; it was his chase debut when pulled up at Lingfield in November but he nevertheless arrives with something to prove regarding his current form; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Any or all of the returning cheekpieces, switch back from fences and career-low mark inspired this month's Market Rasen success (2m7f, soft); worse off with near-4l third Ramo following a 2lb rise, but value for further that day having idled late and live claims again here.

British runner; commenced chase career with good-ground wins at Hereford and Lingfield; below par in two subsequent starts but bounced back to form with a 4.25l win at Newbury last time (2m4f, good to soft) and a few of those in behind have won since; up 7lb now but ground and distance look like his optimum.

French chase winner at this trip on soft ground; he hasn't really got a lot going over fences in Britain, with two 14l defeats as good as it's got; he has at least dropped 13lb for his troubles and he'll probably come good sooner or later.

French chase winner (2m6f, soft) who hasn't threatened across his three British starts, and this expected return to better ground may be against him; however, there was some promise in his 14l third of five at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last time and that race is working out very well.

Needs improvement on his good-ground efforts for new yard but may show the benefit of the return to forecast slower conditions, having gained his French success (chase) on soft.
