4/1 |
Ile De Jersey
Lightly raced in recent years but returned from long layoff with two very respectable runs towards end of last season, latterly when sixth of 16 in valuable series final at Cheltenham (2m4f, good); in calmer waters here and needs to be taken very seriously.

- Nick Slatter / D Killahena & G McPherson

11/2 |
Sunday Soldier
Creditable second in Warwick Listed race (2m5f, soft) in February and should be fine on the quicker ground here but two lesser efforts in handicaps have followed and she needs a boost from the new cheekpieces.

- Hiconic
- Kielan Woods / A M Hales

25/1 |
Hiconic
Seven-time hurdle winner, most recently when clinging on by a nose in busy finish at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last summer; probably not suited by the slower ground when below that form in September but absent since and remains on a fairly tough mark.

- Wudya
- B S Hughes / T Collier

14/1 |
Wudya
1-6 over hurdles for Gordon Elliott in Ireland; chased home useful rival in Clonmel handicap (2m4f, good) in October but was sold for £7,500 soon afterwards and has fitness to prove on this stable debut; tongue-tie added.

|
- Masked Dance
- Charlie Deutsch / Mrs M Rowley
|
|
119
|
10/3 |
Masked Dance
Has rather mixed record since clearcut success in this race a year ago (good ground) but kept on well for second at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last week and remains on a good mark; high on the list.

- Midnight Ginger
- Jay Tidball / Andrew Martin

|
8/1 |
Midnight Ginger
Runner-up off today's mark at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in February and subsequent Cheltenham eighth (just behind Ile De Jersey) was perfectly respectable but she's not quite as good as she was and some of her younger rivals appeal more.
|
|
|
- Police Academy
- Mr Ben Sutton / F O'Brien
|
|
117
|
11/1 |
Police Academy
Placed over hurdles and fences last summer; absent since below-par run in October but resumes on a workable mark and with conditions suitable; market may guide.

- Touchy Feely
- James Bowen / N J Henderson

15/2 |
Touchy Feely
Ran quite well when fourth behind Masked Dance in this race a year ago and is 10lb lower now but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; pulled up over C&D on latest hurdling start (Boxing Day) and safely held in a chase a few weeks later; needs 112-day break to have done her good.

- Versace Twentyone
- Sean Houlihan / Sheila Lewis

|
11/2 |
Versace Twentyone
Irish bumper winner who came good over hurdles at sixth attempt, keeping on well to beat 12 rivals at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month; moves up in grade today but will be suited by the quicker ground and might still have more to offer.
