This might go to STUMPS OR SLIPS, who didnt run badly on his final start for Tom Weston in the autumn and now makes his debut for Olly Murphy from an attractive mark. Another Folly will be a tough nut to crack in this grade if perked up by the addition of cheekpieces. Supasunrise can also feature.[Chris Wilson]

Unable to land a telling blow when last of four at Plumpton last month and now 0-12 under all codes but is well handicapped on some his placed form from the autumn and can be dangerous in this modest race if boosted by the addition of cheekpieces.
Dual chase winner on good ground (2m/2m4f) for Tom Weston in spring 2023; absent since respectable fifth in first-time blinkers (now removed) in November but makes stable debut from a good mark and it will be interesting to see what Olly Murphy can do with him.
Pulled up in two points in March, after a long absence, and finished last of four when back under rules at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; sports first-time cheekpieces today; revival needed.
Rewarded strong market support when dominating from the front against own sex here (2m3f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in March, her second chase start, but was safely held in third off new mark here last month and needs to kick on again today.
Without a win since 2023 but was placed in three chases last season and continues to edge down the weights; beaten about 20l when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) on latest outing in March but this slightly shorter trip may suit him better; considered each-way.
Dual 3m chase winner in this month last year (soft/good) and returned to form with clear second here (2m3f, good to soft) in April; not quite in same form when well-held third at Bangor (3m, good) a few days later but still enters calculations.
0-6 in chases and 0-16 overall; kept on well for third at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October but is effectively 2lb higher from out of the weights here and has fitness to prove after 204-day absence.
Ran quite well over hurdles here (2m4f, good to soft) on stable debut in November but not much has gone to plan since; well held when unseating rider on last month's return to fences and effectively 5lb higher from out of the weights today; others appeal much more.
Remains very unexposed but showed no promise in three novice/maiden hurdles last year (2m-2m6f) and makes his chase/handicap debut from 15lb out of the weights; tongue-tie/cheekpieces added.
