11st 13lb

J: Cameron Iles

T: Tom Lacey

Returned from one-year absence with good second on chase debut at Exeter (3m, heavy) in December but looked out of sorts when pulled up last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on return to hurdling.

10st 13lb

J: Stan Sheppard

T: Tom Lacey

Low-mileage 10yo who was 5-12 over hurdles; having his first race over fences when a 5l second to Isaac Des Obeaux at Exeter (3m, heavy) where he needed some driving but kept on well; this stiffer stamina test could be up his street.

11st 12lb

J: Stan Sheppard

T: Tom Lacey

9yo who won five of his 12 starts over hurdles, including here and on heavy ground; has won after an absence in the past and he's one to monitor in the betting on his chase debut, but he was pulled up at Sandown last December when last seen so it's hard to be confident.

11st 5lb

J: Cameron Iles

T: Tom Lacey

Got up near the finish in this race 12 months ago (heavy) and warrants respect in his bid for a repeat win, notwithstanding a 5lb higher mark and lack of recent match practice (off since April).
