Spartan Warrior
Last of six on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) in March; second of five at Stratford (2m3f, good) last time is similar form but he has an each-way chance again.

Clan Chieftain
Fairly useful stayer on the Flat for Ralph Beckett, albeit without a handicap win; between beaten 33l and 40l in his three hurdle races, absent four months before latest, so he does not bring solid claims to this handicap hurdle debut but he has a modest mark and it's a weak race.

Jet Patrol
Free-going sort who is 0-10 over hurdles but he was second of seven from off the pace under Lewis Dobb in handicap at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) 12 days ago, which gives him a shot at this weak race.

Guillaume
Sole win under rules (16 races) was in a novice handicap chase at Catterick (2m, soft) in December 2023; heavily beaten on both starts this spring (latest was his first run over hurdles since March 2023) but the minor honours he recorded over fences last summer read well.

Away She Goes
11th attempt when off the mark in a five-runner handicap here (2m, good) 18 days ago, making all in clearcut fashion in a five-runner race; ridden by Edward Austin on last four starts and wore cheekpieces on last three; up 7lb and has stamina to prove but she still has claims in this field.

Mullins Cross
2-42 when trained in Ireland; respectable fourth under Ben Smith at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February was easily the best of her four races for new yard; 7lb lower today but she probably can't be relied upon.

Balranald
Seems best on good or good to soft these days and won twice over 2m1f last October off 1lb lower than today; returned from his winter break with two respectable efforts in March/April and he's one to consider.

Don't Look Back
Won a Flat race in 2023 but is 0-21 over hurdles; tailed off on last two starts, admittedly in a maiden last time after four months off but he does not look a solid option; tongue tied first time.

Brave Bairn
No better than third after two bumpers and eight races over hurdles; pulled up on last two starts, absent 724 days in between; sometimes hooded, now tries cheekpieces.
