J: Ciaran Gethings

T: Jane Williams

Five-time hurdle winner who ended last year with a brave success at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft); well held there in both runs this spring but he got involved in a battle up front last time; a player if he can get back near his best.

J: James Best

T: Jane Williams

Steadily worked his way back to form this season, culminating in a narrow win over C&D (good to soft; 5lb higher today) in December under 7lb claimer; reverted to a lesser show 19 days ago but perhaps he needed that run after more than three months off.

Had been struggling but has steadily got himself back on track and prevailed narrowly over C&D in December on latest appearance; 6lb higher for this and connections claimed another 7lb last time through Isabelle Ryder, but he had dropped to a fair mark anyway.

J: Isabelle Ryder

Arrested a decline when third of 16 at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) early last month; 2lb nudge for being beaten 4l at Ludlow last time is a little jarring, but there was a decent gap back to the third; respected.

Dual winner last season, including over this C&D (good to soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; only 2lb higher than last winning mark, good third at Huntingdon last time (3m1f, good); stable going well; one with a chance.
