Returning from an absence when finishing a decent third over 2m4f at Ffos Las (good) earlier this month. Had previously finished a neck second to a now 147-rated rival in a slowly run affair and looks likely to run well once more.
Finished third over 2m at Plumpton (good-to-firm) in a competitive event when last seen in action last month. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and now rated 2lb lower than when last successful.
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Plumpton (good) over an extended 2m4f in November. Finished second in two of his three races since though took a heavy fall at Hexham last time. Interesting if fully recovered from that.
Winner of two bumpers for previous stable in 2015 but off for over a year prior to finishing eighth at Kempton in March. Better effort when runner-up at Warwick (good-to-soft) earlier this month and makes his handicap debut here.
Maiden hurdle winner at Exeter (good-to-firm) in April 2015 but beaten 31L on his only start since at the same course on soft ground in January. Wears cheekpieces for the first time today.
Had just two starts for this stable and held every chance when falling two out at Warwick at the start of the month. Subsequently beaten 10L into fourth over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good) and races off the same mark today.
Well held in all three starts for this stable. Two of those have come over hurdles including when 35L sixth in first time blinkers (retained) at Hexham (good) last time out.

Allelu Alleluia (2/1), Destiny's Gold (7/2), Nicely Indeed (9/2), Regulation (9/2), Earls Fort (7/1), Sadler's Gold (14/1), Burrenbridge Hotel (16/1), Faith Jicaro (33/1), Duke Of Sonning (66/1)
Top weight ALLELU ALLELUIA ran well when finishing third on his return to action at Ffos Las following over nine months off the track and is the selection to register a second career success in this handicap hurdle. The selection was making his handicap debut on that occasion and can get the better of Earls Fort who fell at a relatively stage last time and had finished runner-up on his return from a break prior to that. Regulation has won off a higher mark in the past and can claim third today.
