Made a winning return in a Limerick maiden in November and, after a couple of lesser efforts, back on track when third in handicap at Naas (18.5f, soft) in January. Matched that level when fourth of 7 at Clonmel on chase debut last time, but more needed back hurdling.

Fairly useful bumper winner and has run to a similar level over hurdles, placing on his first 3 starts before recording an easy success in a Wincanton maiden (15.2f, heavy) 23 days ago. Can make his presence felt back up in trip for his handicap debut.

22/1
Looked promising sent handicapping at the beginning of last season, but signed off with a poor run at this meeting and has yet to fire in 3 starts during the current campaign. Has dropped below his last winning mark, but has something to prove at present.

12/1
Useful hurdler/chaser for Joseph O'Brien back in 2020/21 and, having dropped in the weights, has made the frame over hurdles on his last 4 starts. No match for the winner when second at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) last month, but he's not discounted from his current mark.

28/1
Capitalised on a reduced mark when winning this race last year and shaped encouragingly early in the current campaign, a bad mistake 3 out putting paid to his chances at Musselburgh in November. However, has run poorly on his last 2 starts, so bounce back called for.

Has done well since handicapping, off the mark at this C&D in January and travelling powerfully when doubling his tally back here in March. Ran at least as well when fourth at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) last time and he can give another good account.

9/4
Made a winning handicap debut at Leicester in January on his final run for Evan Williams and has picked up where he left off for his current yard, going on to land the hat-trick with odds-on successes at Warwick and Market Rasen (18.6f, heavy). Not taken lightly.

Has left his previous efforts behind switched to handicaps, opening his account at Sedgefield in March before following up at Wincanton (19.8f, heavy) 15 days later. Came clear with a handicap debutant last time and he can make another bold bid.

Took a step forward when winning handicap here (18f, soft) in December but has struggled for consistency since, one of his lesser efforts when pulled up at this C&D in March. Others more persuasive.

PLAISIR DES FLOS has shown much improved form in handicaps on his last 2 starts, scoring with a bit in hand at Wincanton last time, and he can continue his progress to land the hat-trick. Billytherealbigred also arrives unbeaten since going handicapping and is respected in his bid for the 4-timer, with Don't Tell Su also considered.
