J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Edward Bethell

Ran creditably for minor honours in two (1m5f/2m2f) of his four starts in last year's Flat campaign and won novice hurdles in December and January when last seen; however, although he won on good ground two years ago, his record since has been dominated by achievements on softer.

T: Edward Bethell

Useful Flat performer who got off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt at Wetherby (2m, soft) four weeks ago; he's open to further improvement in this code and could have a big part to play under a penalty.

T: Edward Bethell

Three wins on the Flat at up to 1m6f (good-heavy), showing useful form; was running a promising race when falling two out on hurdle debut over C&D (soft) last month; underwhelming fifth at Southwell (2m, good to soft) since but could be a contender if leaving that run behind.

J: Charlie Deutsch

T: Edward Bethell

Useful Flat stayer who was probably set to finish second before penultimate-flight fall on recent hurdling debut at Wetherby (2m, soft); can make presence felt if that experience hasn't dented his confidence.

T: Edward Bethell

Won two 1m6f handicaps on the Flat last autumn (soft/heavy) and runner-up in that code at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) this September; he may require a longer trip than this over hurdles ideally but is still entitled to respect today in view of his useful Flat ability.
