Bodygroove
AW winner in 2023 and a handicap hurdle in March; made no impression back on the Flat at Carlisle three weeks ago (1m6f).

Captain Potter
Won over 2m on soft ground in October and back in good form when a head second at Newcastle and close fourth back at Catterick (good); likely contender once more.

Different Drum
Last year's best form in staying handicaps gives him every chance but was entitled to run a lot better than he did on the AW only nine days ago; that was after a break but hard to trust so soon on the back of it.

Queen Of Steel
Tailed off in her first handicap hurdle for this yard but won her next two and went in again back on the Flat at Nottingham (2m, good), doing that comfortably by nearly 10l; up 11lb but she's on a roll.

Fabuleux Du Clos
Won twice over hurdles in 2023 but has regressed since returning from an absence and he's a 10yo now; makes no appeal, for all that this is his handicap debut on the Flat.

Destination Unkown
Mild promise when fifth of seven on AW debut (1m4f) but tailed off since then in two further novices; may have improvement lurking over this far on handicap debut but that could be wishful thinking.

Quercus Robur
Beat four rivals over the 2m5f here in April (good) but surprisingly weakened out of it late on over 2m at Catterick when just behind Captain Potter; still commands a second look back here.

Team Endeavour
Two years since sole success in a staying handicap; showed no form over hurdles before finishing tailed off back on the Flat at Carlisle (80-1).

Triple Nickle
Appreciated returning to the Flat when running quite well for a 50-1 chance at Wolverhampton; still has ground to make up on Forglen.

Forglen
Has done quite well in handicaps since undergoing wind surgery and saw out the 2m well when runner-up at Wolverhampton 21 days ago; looks on the right sort of mark but has each-way claims.

Yakhabar
Only 2-31; wasn't running too badly in staying handicaps before a rather laboured effort here 17 days ago when the 1m4f was no excuse; others preferred for win purposes.
