Selected odds by:
Successful at Ludlow on good-to-soft ground over 3m in December. Held every chance when falling next time out. Beaten the last twice including as favourite at Ascot earlier this month but remains of interest here.
Victorious over 2m4f at Uttoxeter off a 7lb lower mark in September. Well held off this mark the following month and returning from nearly six months off here.
Unraced since winning at Worcester nearly 11 months ago. Stays this trip well and best efforts have come on the likely good ground he'll encounter here. Interesting off a mark 5lb higher than for that success.
Registered a double here and at Stratford in June last year but pulled up upped to 3m1f on his return to action at Cheltenham in October. Unraced since and worth a check in the market on his return to action.
Winner on his debut for this stable in February 2016 but disappointing since including when beaten 6L on soft ground at Wincanton last month. Races off a 3lb lower mark here and represents a top stable here.
Winner over an extended 2m here on chasing debut in May 2016. Disappointing since however including on debut for this yard at Ludlow earlier this month. Yard in good form recently (11/41) and interesting off a light weight.

AL ALFA represents a stable in decent form at present and can take this handicap chase on his first outing since May last year. The selection was successful off a 5lb lower mark when last seen in action and has won off a break in the past. Orbasa has failed to win since scoring on his first outing for this stable nearly 14 months ago and can take second while Abidjan can take third for a trainer with a 27% strike-rate recently.
