Artiste DAinay

11st 12lb

J: James Bowen

T: Billy Aprahamian

Won the second of two points in April before being sold for £10,000; got off the mark over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month when making all; well held at Worcester subsequently but must be of interest on chasing debut.

J: Benjamin Macey

Winning pointer; gained a first success under rules on just his second run for current yard in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle 22 days ago; up 7lb but not taken lightly.

East Eagle

11st 7lb

J: Charlie Maggs

T: Mike Sowersby

Showed career-best form when scoring by 9l at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April and also has a C&D success on his CV but was unable to land a telling blow on his two starts at Hexham last month and needs to kick on again to overcome current mark.

East Eagle

11st 6lb

J: Charlie Maggs

T: Mike Sowersby

Reliable 6yo who has continued in good heart since scoring at Catterick (3m1f, good) in January and produced a career-best when back on the scoresheet at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; failed to land a blow over C&D latest and has something to find with My Boy Christy, though he remains one for the shortlist in the context of the race.

Luna Run

10st 2lb

J: Megan Fox

T: Harry Derham

Just 1-16 over hurdles when trained by Evan Williams and was unable to justify odds-on favouritism when only sixth of 12 here (2m5f, good) on last month's stable debut; may yet come good for Harry Derham, though, and this move back up in trip will suit; wears refitted tongue-tie; gained her win on good to firm but has form on good to soft; 3lb wrong.

Luna Run

10st 5lb

J: Paul O’Brien

T: Harry Derham

3m hurdle winner last April in first-time cheekpieces, that her only win in 16 attempts, though often placed; given wind surgery after finishing a distant third at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) in October on final start for Evan Williams; back in trip following a break and worth considering for stable going well.

Good and bad in five runs for current yard, all of which were at Fontwell and Fakenham; soft ground was probably against him last time and he stays well.

Well beaten over hurdes here on last month's stable debut but kept on well for clear second behind Of Corse I Can over C&D (good) when back over fences three weeks ago and will be suited by the forecast slower ground today; respected.
