Salamanca Bay
Now 5lb lower than when making all in small-field chase at Ayr (2m, good) for Lucinda Russell 13 months ago but looked badly out of sorts on his three starts for Dan Skelton during the winter and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on recent debut for latest new stable (breathing issue reported); needs refitted tongue-tie to make a big difference.

Lucky Lugger
Consistent since switched to fences in the autumn and deserved his win at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in February; needs to prove himself on today's forecast good ground but is suited by this C&D and features prominently in calculations.

Jet Of Dreams
Three chase wins this season, the latest in fast-ground match race at Taunton (2m2f) in November; ran well again when second of three at Newcastle (2m, good) last month, after a break, and is likely to be on the premises here.

Boston Joe
5-15 over fences (including two good-ground wins); lacked fluency and was slightly disappointing when returned to chasing at Bangor (2m1f, good) a fortnight ago but a subsequent 3lb drop is helpful and he can be very dangerous here if the first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect.

Still lightly raced after only seven runs but has been safely held in two handicaps for new stable this year, more recently when third of five over C&D (good) on chasing debut three weeks ago; needs to up his game today.

Jack Sparrow Grey
Well down the field when 33-1 for handicap hurdle debut in January (2m3f, good to soft) but remains very unexposed and is well worth a glance in the betting before this chasing debut.
