10st 9lb

J: William Maggs

T: R Mike Smith

Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes.

10st 6lb

J: Toby Wynne

T: R Mike Smith

Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February, latterly to The Coffey Boy; does need to shrug off two lesser runs since, though.

J: Ben Smith

T: R Mike Smith

Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities.

10st 10lb

J: Ben Smith

T: R Mike Smith

Two Flat wins; 0-6 over hurdles but beaten only a head at Ayr (2m4f) the last twice, suggesting there's an ordinary handicap in him; good chance turned out quickly (likely to go up in weights once reassessed).

Won twice at Lingfield on the AW for Mike Murphy (2m, 1m4f); best run over hurdles when a head second to So Many Roads in a 19-runner handicap over C&D last time (soft); the pair were 6l clear that day, so chance off 2lb higher.
