Handstands
Posted a clearcut success in similar event at Sandown (3m, soft; second chase attempt) last month, bouncing back from his Wincanton fall and taking overall record to 5-7; effective at this trip over hurdles; progressive in the main and has leading claims even with 5lb penalty.

Hillcrest
Successful at this level as a novice hurdler in the 2021-22 campaign; however, has made errors and failed to show his form in two chase starts (2m5f/3m1f) since returning from long absence; enough to prove and, being a 10yo now, time isn't on his side.

Karuma Grey
Belied his 100-1 odds in novice handicap here (2m5f, heavy; fourth chase start) last month on debut for Alison Thorpe, who had her first winner for 12 years in the process; stiffer task upped in class but may improve further and the rescheduling of this race to Ffos Las is a plus for him.

Lord Of Thunder
Two novice hurdle wins at Wincanton last winter; still had a chance when falling two out at Cheltenham (2m4f) on the switch to chasing but failed to improve at Exeter (2m3f) since and needs to raise his game in this better company; tries a tongue-tie.

Range
Perhaps best when able to dominate, having gained both wins from the front, the chase one at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November; unable to lead at Kempton on Boxing Day and his jumping suffered; tactics aside, this is a tougher assignment.

Saint Davy
Point/bumper/hurdles winner who is likely to complete the full set soon, having posted an encouraging effort in Grade 2 at Sandown (3m, soft) on chase debut, finishing 4l third to Handstands; gets a 5lb pull with that rival and should cope with the drop back in distance; respected.

Cherie D'am
Useful mare who completed the full jumps set with her commanding performance in Listed novice event at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft; second chase attempt) last month, adding to her point, bumper and hurdle wins; acts on soft; major contender even with 5lb penalty back against males.
