25/1 |
Champagne Chic
Got off the mark on just his second run at Wincanton (2m) in January but he trailed in last of four in 2m2f Fontwell novice following month; he could be worth another chance now going handicapping after a break.

13/2 |
Here Comes Georgie
Dual C&D scorer in the autumn; won twice over fences since and he posted a good eighth of 18 back hurdling in 2m Kelso handicap last month when chasing a strong gallop; a likely player off a 4lb lower mark here.

- Rock House
- Harry Skelton / D Skelton

11/2 |
Rock House
A fair winning 2m hurdler who shaped encouragingly on his chasing debut when third in 2m4f Ludlow handicap last month; he must enter calculations now reverting to this sphere.

- Bashful
- Charlie Maggs / I Jardine

Bashful
A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though.

- Klitschko
- B S Hughes / Lucinda Hughes

Klitschko
Had the hood left off when gaining his first success for his current yard in 2m Sedgefield handicap 35 days ago; up 5lb but he can't be discounted with the headgear again left off.

- Highlands Legacy
- Jonjo O'Neill Jr. / J & A O'Neill

|
9/2 |
Highlands Legacy
Low-mileage 6yo who comes here in good nick, fading late when third of 12 in 2m5f Warwick handicap last month; this free-going sort can go well with the drop back in trip a likely plus.

- S Bowen / O Murphy

11/2 |
Imaginarium
Debut hurdles winner over C&D for Lucinda Russell but he's proved rather hit and miss since for his current yard, scoring at Huntingdon in February before being pulled up at Exeter last month; others are preferred.
|

- Mack The Man
- Mr Kit Alexander / N W Alexander

|
28/1 |
Mack The Man
C&D winner but this veteran has been pulled up on two of his last three runs, last time in 2m1f Musselburgh handicap last month; blinkers replace his usual visor with something to prove.
|
|
|
|
- El Jefe
- Alan Doyle / A B Hamilton
|
|
124
|
22/1 |
El Jefe
A five-time winner (at up to 2m3f) last season but he's yet to fire in four runs this term despite a falling mark, only sixth at Ayr (2m4f) last month; others appeal more.

- Simple Star
- P W Wadge / Mrs Dianne Sayer

Simple Star
Not seen over hurdles since bagging a C&D handicap last July but he arrives in good nick from the Flat so must enter calculations.
|

- Wolfburg
- Danny McMenamin / A M Thomson
|
|

33/1 |
Wolfburg
Lightly raced 2m winner but he's been pulled up on his last two starts in handicaps at Southwell and Carlisle and has a six-month absence to overcome too.

- Cuban Cigar
- Conner McCann / Miss Lucinda V Russell

11/2 |
Cuban Cigar
On a long losing run and he beat only one in 2m1f handicap at Newcastle 19 days ago; others are preferred.

- Charlotte Jones / James Moffatt

40/1 |
Vocal Duke
Winless since 2022 and he comes here on the back of a below-form sixth in 2m Wetherby handicap on Boxing Day; he has gone well fresh though so is no forlorn hope off a falling mark.
|

- Maple
- Jamie Hamilton / Ruth Jefferson

9/1 |
Maple
Still to get his head in front but he posted a good third of six in 2m1f handicap at Musselburgh 34 days ago; one for the shortlist.
