J: Lilly Pinchin

T: Henry Oliver

All three wins over hurdles have been over C&D; returned to form when beaten a neck over C&D (good) last month and filled the same position at Aintree (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; is a major force around here and must come into the reckoning.

Gained all three hurdle wins at Stratford; returned to form with close second there (2m2f, good) last month and can probably cope with subsequent 2lb nudge but he's away from his favourite track today.

Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle last week, but on balance of form it's hard to take that effort literally; this is a belated return to fences (0-5).

11st 11lb

J: Tom Bellamy

Low-mileage 5yo who returned from layoff with clear win at Warwick (2m, good) in November; absent since last-flight fall at Newbury in January but has possibilities if fully tuned up after latest break.

Won at Warwick (2m, good) in November on second handicap start, following a break; 2l third of six at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) since; further improvement is possible from this 5yo but it's necessary today.

J: Paddy Hanlon

Finally got off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m2f) last May; tried chasing again last month but well below par in handicaps (up to 2m2f) at Wexford and Limerick; needs this return to hurdling to spark a resurgence.

T: Sheena West

14-race maiden; 0-6 in this discipline but he's improved for the switch to handicaps and produced a solid effort off this mark when runner-up at Stratford (extended 2m) and coping well with the good to firm ground; can play a major role again.

0-13 under all codes but ran well for a long way before weakening into fifth of seven on handicap hurdle debut at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February and ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here.

Signs of progress until unseating two out at Uttoxeter (2m, good) and backed that up with a second here last week; half-brother to the stable's smart 2m-2m6f winner Unexpected Party, so this trip should be well within range.

0-4 but was in the process of running his best race to date when unseating two out at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 20 days ago when coming to challenge; still unexposed and should go close, at the least.
