Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon.

Made it 4-5 over fences with 10l win in three-runner handicap at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good to firm) last month and beaten just a neck in a match at Perth (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; bumped into an unexposed winner last time and there is every chance that he will again be bang there.

Progressive 6yo who comfortably beat two rivals at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 4-5 over fences; went up another 4lb for that but will be fine over this shorter trip and makes obvious appeal.

11st 10lb

J: Sean Quinlan

T: Jennie Candlish

Won his first three races over fences (2m4f to an extended 2m5f) and, in first-time cheekpieces, ran well enough at Cartmel (2m1f; Krak 15l behind) to believe he's still on a workable mark; hard to knock.

Form & Verdict
Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences; hasn't had much go his way since scoring in October but he was still in contention when unseating three out over fences last time in a race won by Dunkerque; now 10lb better off with that rival and he should be competitive given a change in fortune; forecast rain is a concern though.

Strike-rate of 5-13 over hurdles and he's rated 10lb lower as a chaser (0-5); however, hasn't offered a lot in this discipline and it's over a year since he last went chasing.

Strike-rate of 5-12 over hurdles and won easily at Warwick (2m5f, good) before pulling up at Ascot in October; he does have a bit to prove off this mark even if returning in good order.

Form & Verdict
0-12 over hurdles and, while there have been hints of encouragement off a sliding mark, he hasn't looked like capitalising and now faces a stiff task from out of the weights on chase debut.
