Light Dragoon
Promising third on his hurdles debut last July and he opened his account (also Worcester, 2m, good) seven weeks later; flopped on his handicap debut at Southwell in early October, however, when quick ground was blamed; off since but he retains a fair bit of potential for a yard that's won with four of its last six runners.

Mount Olympus
Beaten a long way when weakening on his first two starts over hurdles but much better when he bustled up a gambled-on winner at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in March; four-time Flat winner who's open to progress now handicapping for his in-form yard.

Sambezi
Dual course winner, including at this trip (good to soft), but without a win since May 2023; inconsistent this year, a respectable run over C&D (good) in March coming in between two lesser efforts, including when favourite last time; tends to go well here but probably not the percentage call.

Caught the eye on handicap debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, heavy) last time, finishing on the tails of the principals and shaping like he had more to offer; this forecast surface will be very different but he's an interesting contender who's open to improvement; non-runner at Newton Abbot yesterday.

Stanley Pincombe
Placed off 13lb higher over C&D (good to soft) on seasonal debut in September but ended 2024 with some lesser efforts and he was tailed off after a 102-day break here last month; first-time visor swiftly ditched.

Tommy Dillion
Did win a heavy-ground hurdle race at Lingfield in 2022 and his third at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) in April 2023, his last start in this discipline, was a respectable effort; it's been a real struggle over fences since, however, and he's plenty to prove returned to this sphere.
