Grandad's Cap
Unexposed 5yo who showed minor promise over 2m on rules debut in November; unseated rider in Cheltenham Grade 2 on next outing and struggled on heavy ground last time but moves up in trip for this handicap debut and remains an unknown quantity; hood added; market may guide.

Leading Force
Good-ground chase winner for Sandy Thomson at start of last season; out of form over hurdles for him when last seen in February/March and has since changed hands for £9,500; back up in trip with headgear removed for this stable debut; new trainer usually does well with new recruits.

Micronormous
Had rather mixed record over hurdles/fences last season and was well held when second in small-field chase on latest outing in March but was given another wind op last month (her second) and reverts to hurdling on a good mark and with conditions suitable.

Moonshine Girl
Irish raider; 0-6 over hurdles but shaped well before fading into fourth at Cork (3m, good) ten days ago and remains unexposed over this trip; one to consider.

Indian Sunbird
Bettered poor reappearance run when fifth of eight at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) this month and is now only 1lb higher than when causing 20-1 surprise at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer; may well be the answer.

Lizzie Rey
Given significant boost by first-time cheekpieces when causing 33-1 surprise over C&D (good to soft) in March but was pulled up after jumping poorly on next outing and it's hard to know what to expect from her today.

Moro Rock
Looked held when unseating rider here on last month's chasing debut and now quickly reverts to hurdling; quite well handicapped if judged on last year's Market Rasen second (2m7f, good) but riding arrangements suggest Indian Sunbird is the stable's main hope today.

Fox's Socks
1-19 over hurdles; stuck to his task pretty well when second at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) this month, after a break, and has obvious each-way claims if in similar form here but his overall profile is not appealing.

Stripe Of Honour
Veteran who looked badly out of sorts when last seen in the autumn; 1lb wrong today and has a lot to prove but it's worth noting he won on good ground after a layoff in May 2023 and went close in this race (soft ground) when fresh last year.
