Northern Ruler
Nicely bred colt whose turf form (1m/1m2f) has worked out well; comfortably justified favouritism in C&D novice on yard debut last month but weakened quickly on 1m2f course handicap debut just nine days later; 5lb lower now and no surprise were he to get back on the up in cheekpieces.

Gaassee
Useful in his younger days when with William Haggas and very nearly ended his losing run when failing by a nose to catch an in-form rival in a 0-105 handicap at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) 17 days ago; respected from an unchanged mark.

Knockbrex
Gained his first win in handicaps over 1m4f at Lingfield last month and a tactical race over 1m2f may not have suited when only 7l third under a penalty back there six days later; this test should be more suitable.

Sea Legend
Useful 1m2f Flat performer, including a course handicap win, but hasn't got anywhere near translating that ability to hurdles in three runs this winter; it remains to be seen whether a return to the Flat sparks a revival with a hood and tongue-tie combined.

Wind Your Neck In
His three wins for David Evans came on soft/heavy ground and down the field on both AW starts for that trainer; new connections acquired him for 11,500gns in December; a watching brief is advised unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Plage De Havre
4yo with progressive RPRs; demoted having wandered around under pressure when narrowly first past the post on his 1m4f Southwell handicap debut three weeks ago; that is solid form and he can make light of a 3lb nudge with further improvement on the cards.

Midnight Lion
Front-runner who won his first three starts here (1m2f) after joining this yard in November, but two defeats since suggest the handicapper is winning the argument now.
