25/1
Useful chaser back in 2023 but well below form in 3 starts last year (following a lay-off) and fared no better back over hurdles at Carlisle last month following another absence/breathing operation. Plenty to prove now tried in tongue strap.

Beat Walkadina to make a winning start over hurdles at Ludlow in February and stepped forward from reappearance fifth when making a successful handicap debut at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) 3 weeks ago, finding plenty for pressure. Further improvement likely over this longer trip.

Fairly useful hurdler for Stuart Crawford, winning mares listed handicap in February last year. Unable to match that form over fences and has been brought along gradually by new yard this season. On a handy mark for hurdles return and interesting if supported with first-time cheekpieces on.

Showed much more than on sole bumper start when no match for improving, odds-on stablemate on hurdles bow at Bangor last month. Looked far from the finished article when third at Ludlow latest and remains with potential now handicapping over a longer trip.

Won twice at a lower level last season but has a patchy record over Flat and Jumps of late, falling heavily at fifth on reappearance 9 days ago. Remains with questions to answer.

11/1
Ran well to place in a couple of better handicaps on soft ground last season but yet to fire this campaign, typical mistakes/sticking to the inside not helping his cause when well held over a longer trip at Uttoxeter (23.3f) 11 days ago. Can be competitive if back on a going day.

7/1
Consistent last season and made a solid reappearance when runner-up at Aintree last month. A few in-behind improved next-time-out but he disappointed when well held third in a 6-runner C&D handicap last time. Too soon to write off given his previous form.

Runner-up in a bumper for P. Tobin in Ireland and showed much more on second start for new yard when a staying on fourth in a 2m novice at Chepstow last month. Should improve upped in distance on handicap debut and makes plenty of appeal.

Scored 5 times in 2023/24 season (including this race), culminating in a career-best display at the Aintree Grand National meeting. No show last season but better signs when 40/1 third on return at Ayr. This a stronger race than he need contest but interesting to see if supported off falling mark.

A few could be underestimated by their current marks, including BRUCIO who is one to be interested in if the market expects first-time cheekpieces to have the desired effect. Le Yacht is open to plenty of improvement now tackling a longer trip, as are unexposed handicap debutants Pounds At The Time and Super Freddie.
