Scored twice last term and ran respectably on reappearance but form has dipped in two subsequent starts, latest in lower grade; others look stronger at present.

J: Freddie Gordon

T: Chris Gordon

Won this race a year ago (good to soft) and took 16-runner Cheltenham handicap (2m1f, good) at end of last season but failed to build upon pleasing reappearance run when pulled up in last month's Greatwood and needs to be back in prime form to have any chance under top weight.

J: Harry Cobden

Sixth in February in a big handicap on soft; ended last season with a Cheltenham win (2m1f, good) and ran creditably on C&D return; back up in grade but receives weight all round and Harry Cobden is booked; could go well.

Two wins last season, the latter when holding on gamely in 16-runner handicap on New course here (2m1f, good) in April; needs another career-best performance today but still enters calculations.
