12st 0lb

J: Mr Tom Hutsby

T: Olly Murphy

5-11 over hurdles but the bulk of those wins have come on soft or heavy ground; sits 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (2m, soft; 9-4, four runners) over Christmas; one of three declared runners for Olly Murphy.

11st 6lb

J: Lewis Stones

T: Olly Murphy

Progressive 6yo who kept on stoutly to beat three rivals at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December and is now 5-10 over hurdles; contests this much deeper race from a 6lb higher mark but still considered.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Progressive handicapper with a good strike-rate and was a rallying second at Wetherby (2m, soft; new cheekpieces); raised another 3lb for that but looks sure to go well.

J: Lewis Stones

T: Olly Murphy

On the up when winning four of five handicap hurdle starts last season, including on soft/heavy; down the field on his Newbury reappearance but this is less competitive and no surprise were he to resume his progression in first-time cheekpieces.

J: Lewis Saunders

T: Olly Murphy

5yo who won handicaps over about 2m on four of his last five starts, all on ground ranging from good to soft through to heavy; one of those wins was under Lewis Saunders; progressive sort who has to be in calculations despite the absence since February.
