Hidor De Bersy (G)
Down in the weights and off the mark for this yard at the third attempt in 3-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) last month. 3 lb rise fair enough but this is a tougher assignment.

Asa (M)
[P]
Won twice over fences last season and also bagged a C&D handicap hurdle during that campaign. Yet to hit top form this time round but there were more positives signs at Musselburgh last time and she's one to consider.

Joe Williamson | P A Kirby | 7 | 75.3 kg |

Bobalot (G)
[PT]
Scored at Huntingdon last spring and has made the frame all 3 starts this time round, most notably finishing a solid third of 8 at the aforementioned course on his penultimate start. Place possibilities.
|
Benjamin Macey | L Horsfall | 9 | 75.3 kg |

Princesse Milania (M)
Signed off for Olly Murphy with Plumpton win and followed up for new yard at Wetherby later in October. Good placed efforts both starts since and likely to be in the mix once more.
|
Jamie Hamilton | M Walford | 6 | 74.8 kg |

Hobb's Delight (G)
[T1V]
Winner over hurdles here in February 2024 but he's 0-8 in this sphere and hasn't fired on all cylinders in a handful of appearances since returning to action in November.

Dylan Johnston | N P Mulholland | 10 | 71.2 kg |

Jewel Of Windsor (M)
[P1T1]
Some hope on best point/bumper exploits and may have needed last month's Hereford run after 6 months off. Moves up in trip with first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap enlisted and she's one to note in the betting.

R T Dunne | N P Mulholland | 7 | 69.4 kg |

Jewel Eyed Judy (M)
Had shown decidedly little prior to opening her account in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, soft) following a 7-month break in November. Wasn't in the same form over the same C&D next time, though, and others make more appeal.

James Turner | N & W Twiston-Davies | 6 | 68.5 kg |

Bollin Thou (G)
[P]
Improved again under Sean Bowen to justify strong market support in comprehensive style at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) last week. Obvious claims under a penalty.
|
S Bowen | Nick Scholfield | 8 | 68.5 kg |

Harksman (G)
Poor maiden hurdler on balance and tried in a hood when only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.6f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.
|
Thomas Bellamy | M Keighley | 6 | 67.6 kg |

The Longest Day (G)
[PT]
Lightly-raced since scoring twice at Perth in 2023 and has taken steps in the wrong direction subsequent to his reappearance third in a Newton Abbot selling handicap on return in September. Opposable.
