10/3
Advanced his form to get off the mark over hurdles in 12-runner maiden at Taunton (16.5f, soft) in January. Respectable fifth on handicap debut at Ludlow the following month and returns as an unexposed sort who could have more to offer this season.

Fair juvenile hurdler/chaser in France who made winning start for Paul Nicholls over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m) in December. Best effort when close second in handicap at Cheltenham in April. Ran poorly on Chepstow reappearance but her yard is going well in general.

Tends to save his best for Chepstow, ending last season with a pair of runner-up efforts. Chance he might need this after 6 months off.

Fairly useful Flat performer who won a Wincanton maiden hurdle last October and placed twice later in the season. Has struggled on the Flat since, albeit in some very strong staying handicaps. Wears a visor for the first time over hurdles.

Landed maiden/novice hurdles in the spring. Well beaten on handicap debut in between but remains unexposed and returns from 5 months off with his stable among the winners. Considered.

Seemingly nothing like the force of old (struggled in handicaps in Britain last season) but his fourth in France in May shows he's still capable of fair form. Two lesser runs followed, though. Off for 132 days ahead of this return to Britain.

SPIRITS BAY has a bit of class for this grade and, having run well when fresh before, might prove the answer with his stable among the winners. The Hardest Geezer and Public Enemy are low-mileage sorts who should have their best days ahead of them and head the dangers.
