11/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Up 4 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Got off the mark at Kempton in April but only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Not proving easy to catch right.

A fair 1m2f Flat winner who opened his account in this sphere at Stratford last month. Backed it up with a very good third of 7 there 12 days ago so ought to be in the shake-up.

Remains a maiden after 22 runs but shaped well on yard debut (formerly with Tom Dreaper) when second of 10 in handicap hurdle (13/8) at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Can go well again despite a 5 lb weights rise.

Modest 1m Flat winner but yet to fire in three runs in this sphere, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

A 4-time C&D winner who posted a solid third of 9 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. One to consider.

It's now 11 runs since her last win in 2023 but not discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to firm) 37 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Quirky sort who came in last of 5 in handicap chase (12/1) at Worcester (16.5f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Switches to hurdles with more required.

Tongue tied and advanced his form on yard debut (formerly with Jeremy Scott) when a clear second of 14 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 9 days ago. Big shout off an unchanged mark.

Only one win from 28 runs and he came in a below-form fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good) 33 days ago. Others appeal more.

Winless since early 2023 and he has been off for 7 months since a below-form sixth here (19.9f, heavy). Others are much preferred.

C&D winner in 2022. Only twice raced since following year and shaped as if still in need of the run when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 23 days ago. Can build on it now.

DIESEL LINE took his form up a level for his new stable when runner-up over C&D last time and is hard to side against off the same mark here. Papa Barns also took a step forward on his yard debut when second at Worcester last month and rates the main danger, while Ez Tiger, Al Mootamarid and Ambassador also need factoring in.
