Thereisnodoubt (G)
[PT]
C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (16f, soft) 38 days ago. Usual cheekpieces go back on now and he can make his presence felt from an easing mark.

He's Bresilian (G)
FAV
Evens when easily getting off the mark in 6-runner novice hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Not taken lightly back in handicap company.

Sean Quinlan | Jedd O'Keeffe | 6 | 75.7 kg |

Dance Thief (G)
C&D winner who shaped as if in need of his return when a fading fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 73 days ago. Very much one to consider off a handy-looking mark.

Ben Smith | R M Smith | 8 | 74.4 kg |

Jiair Madrik (G)
[H1]
Won a conditions hurdle in France in 2023 but offered little starting out for new connections back from an absence of more than 2 years at Uttoxeter last month.

Theo Gillard | D McCain Jnr | 7 | 74.4 kg |

Two Auld Pals (G)
Bounced back to form returned to hurdles, finishing third behind a pair of subsequent winners at Kelso in October. However, subsequent Musselburgh effort represented a step in the wrong direction so more is needed here.

Gregor Walkingshaw | L Russell & M Scudamore | 8 | 73.9 kg |

Mr Lincoln (G)
A fair 1m winner on Flat but yet to match that form in this sphere, only eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 15 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

B S Hughes | I Jardine | 6 | 73.5 kg |

Tread Softly Now (M)
[P]
Dual course scorer (including over C&D) who advanced her form when a clear second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, soft) 15 days ago. Up 4 lb but she's a likely player.

Alan Doyle | I A Duncan | 7 | 72.1 kg |

Sao Carlos (G)
[T]
Sole hurdle success came in a 2m maiden at Wetherby 2 years ago for Olly Murphy. Has offered little both runs for his current yard this term so has something to prove at present.

Peter Kavanagh | Lizzie Quinlan | 8 | 72.1 kg |

Don Occhetti (G)
[T1]
Opened account for Dan Skelton in Worcester chase in August 2024. Off 16 months before being pulled up for new yard in 2m4f handicap hurdle here 11 days ago. Lots to prove now with tongue strap added.

Conor Rabbitt | W Young Jnr | 8 | 70.8 kg |

Platin Moon (G)
Placed on sole Flat start in France and has shown promise in this sphere, hooded and aggressively ridden when a fading fifth of 10 in 2m1f Carlisle handicap 30 days ago. Can go well off a slipping mark.

Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | 5 | 69.9 kg |
