Preference is for dual C&D winner RUMBLE B, who went close behind an improver at Wetherby in March and remains feasibly treated off his revised mark. Another in-form 11yo Romeo Brown is respected on his step back up in trip, but the main threat could come from Killybegs Jet Lady who was a clear second at Newcastle last month and is still unexposed as a staying handicapper.[David Moon]

0-8 over hurdles but he went very close in a Catterick handicap (2m3f) in December; disappointing at Newcastle (2m4f) last time but he looks worth another try at this trip and has claims if he can get back in the groove after a break; visor worn in last two runs is removed.
His last win was in December 2022 but he's turned things around after wind surgery with two placed efforts here (2m4f, good to soft/good) this spring; this step back up in trip is no problem and he should go well again.
Four-time point winner but he's 0-6 over hurdles and has been beaten 31l or more in his last two runs (3m/2m4f); now returns to a handicap but he needs a major revival back up in trip; hood reapplied.
Dual C&D winner who has finished runner-up at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) and Wetherby (3m, good) in his last two runs; up another 3lb but he was only narrowly denied last time and remains well treated on his old form; key player.
Point winner, who is 0-7 over hurdles but she finished a clear second in a Newcastle handicap (3m, good) in March; nudged up 3lb but that latest form has been boosted by the winner since and she's still unexposed at staying trips; respected.
Won at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) last spring and was also narrowly successful at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in November; should appreciate the return to this sort of trip and a new headgear combination is given a go but he could do with rain.
Won in first-time visor at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but he's taken two backward steps since and was a well-held fifth at Ayr (3m, soft) last time; bit to prove again and he needs to find some extra reserves of stamina.
Conditions are no problem but sole win was in February 2022 and he's struggled back from another absence in his two runs this year; tongue-tie is now added but he's out of the weights and needs a big turnaround.
On long losing run but she showed signs of a revival when third of six at Carlisle (3m1f, good) last month; 4lb out of the weights this time but she could get involved if she can build on that last run.
