28/1
Modest maiden on the Flat and who showed up better than might have been expected on his second start over hurdles when second in a Musselburgh maiden in February. Not in same form back there the following month, though, and doesn't look obviously well treated on this switch to handicaps.

Progressive handicap hurdler, winning twice in the autumn and running right up to his best when second in 12-runner event at Musselburgh (17.4f, good) last month. Seems sure to go well again.

C&D winner who took advantage of a tumbling mark in 5-runner handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f) 13 days ago, making all. That was a thin race, but he remains feasibly treated on old form.

Modest handicapper at best on Flat (stays 1½m) who made more impact than previously over hurdles when second in 7-runner novice at Kelso in February. Needs to prove that was no fluke now heading into handicap company.

All the better for her reappearance when landing mares' handicap over C&D for second successive year in May. Good third at Uttoxeter next time but below par last 2 starts. Needs to bounce back returning from 7 months off.

C&D winner who went backwards from her stable debut when last of 5 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 86 days ago. Has had a breathing operation since and of some interest from a reduced mark reunited with Sean Bowen.

Useful on Flat in Germany (stays 9.5f) but just modest form at best in 4 runs over hurdles, finishing well held at Naas in December. First run for yard after leaving Dermot Anthony McLoughlin.

In frame all 3 outings in bumpers but has offered little in maiden/novice hurdles and needs a big step forward from a stiff-looking mark on handicap debut.

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1m) for Jack Channon. Just minor promise so far over hurdles but may make more impact now switched to a low-grade handicap.

Reacted well to a visor when second at Musselburgh in January and backed it up with a solid showing at Catterick. Found good run coming to a halt at aforementioned track in February, though, and was also below form on most recent Flat start.

HEART ABOVE has progressed well this season, clocking some solid timefigures along the way, so he's an appealing candidate. Belle of Annandale is of some interest from her reduced mark reunited with Sean Bowen, while recent Sedgefield scorer Trailblazer remains feasibly treated on old form and is another to consider.
