Back down in distance, SHADOWFAX OF ROHAN is worth another chance. Unexposed Gonnino is second choice, ahead of fellow handicap debutant Bringsty. Several others also have possibilities.[Steve Boow]

Makes handicap hurdle debut looking well treated on best Flat form, albeit with recent evidence (including under this code) suggesting he's not the force of old.
Dual Flat winner who has dismal form figures over hurdles; best watched on return from layoff, unless the betting suggests improvement is on the cards.
Five-time Flat winner, most recently in April; struggled in maiden hurdles last year but should fare better in this handicap off an attractive opening mark; interesting.
Flat scorer whose form in handicap hurdles is largely encouraging, staying-on third at Hexham (2m, good) most recently; enters calculations off same mark.
Maiden; below-par favourite over 2m4f here last month, having failed to settle; promising third over C&D the time before and remains of interest back down in trip.
In-form maiden who has made the frame in both runs this season, latest despite pulling hard (over 2m2f at Kelso); possibilities, provided he settles better.
Improved form switched to front-running tactics at Kelso (good) this term, winning over 2m then close third over 2m2f; may have more to offer; likely player.
