| Completed the hat-trick in decisive fashion at Sedgefield in December but he ran no sort of a race at Ayr recently and he's hard to recommend on the back of that display. | ||||||||

| Matched the fair form he showed in bumpers when placing first 3 starts over hurdles. Hasn't improved for the switch to handicaps, though, first-time cheekpieces need to have a positive impact. | ||||||||

| Confirmed positive start he's made for current connections and capitalised on reduced mark when winning 14-runner event over C&D last time by neck from Another High Five. Was well positioned that day but 4 lb rise isn't excessive and another good effort looks on the cards. | ||||||||

| Opened her account in a 19.5f Chepstow handicap in November but disappointed when stepped up in trip at Doncaster last time; stamina was not the issue there, and this drop back in distance on a stiff track could prove ideal. Player. | ||||||||

| Successful on first of 2 starts in Irish points and has shown signs of more ability on last 2 starts over hurdles. Will be suited by the stamina test that this track often provides and looks the type to take a step forward now handicapping. | ||||||||

| Winless since May 2023 but put up a far more encouraging effort when 4 lengths fifth of 14 to Gardener at this course last time. Well treated if able to build on that effort, but just as likely to run poorly given overall profile. | ||||||||

| Multiple winning pointer who would have a good chance based on of his ¾-length second of 10 to Brookside La in a novice handicap at Wetherby in December. Hasn't been in the same form since and was the first beaten in a maiden over C&D last time. | ||||||||

| Temperamental sort who won at Hexham in May but has largely been let down by his attitude since and can't be considered a reliable betting proposition. Blinkers back on and races from 7 lb out of the handicap. | ||||||||
