King Of The Road (G)
Successful over 19f at Taunton last November and got right back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, good) 20 days ago. Up 4 lb but can go well with headgear again fitted.

Meatloaf (G)
Course winner in 2023/24. Lightly raced since but posted an encouraging sixth of 10 over 15f here last month. Now steps back up in trip with Freddie Keighley again taking 7 lb off. Weighted to go close.

Light Fandango (G)
[T]
Won a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter in summer 2024. Struggled on next 3 starts but back with a bang when winning 2m Doncaster handicap just after Christmas. Still low mileage so possible he can build on that.

Valadon (G)
Ended last season in perfect fashion with 21f Fontwell win in April but pulled up on his return in 2m2f Exeter handicap in November. In good hands so not written off yet.

One Eye On Vegas (G)
[P]
Posted a third win at Leicester with a career best in 6-runner handicap hurdle (20.5f, heavy) 42 days ago. Up 4 lb but he must enter calculations.

Moutarde (G)
[V]
Successful in juvenile hurdles at Kempton/Taunton late in 2024. Too free in a first-time visor at Cheltenham (16.8f) last month and will need to settle much better if he's to get home back up in trip.

Callum Pritchard | S Hosie | 5 | 73 kg |

Doctor Glide (G)
Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland but ended his time with Tom Dreaper out of sorts and his first two runs for this yard at Fontwell and Taunton this winter have been anything but encouraging.

Lorcan Williams | Tim Vaughan | 8 | 71.7 kg |

Teorie (G)
Matched his best form when runner-up at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in May but hasn't reproduced that since, well held over 15f here 30 days ago. Needs to find improvement.

Robbie David | Daisy Hitchins | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Choice Runner (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who has gone with promise on both runs this term on the back of beathing surgery, fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 42 days ago. Goes into handicaps with more to offer. Not without interest.

Le Soleil Reve (G)
FAV
Scored at Hereford (2m) in March and has progressed in a couple of outings this term, latest when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) in November. Should have more to offer.

Purple Owl (G)
[T]
Point winner who has made a positive start in this sphere, tongue tied when third of 10 in 2m Uttoxeter maiden last month. Can do better now handicapping.

Lucky Bere (G)
Ran up to his best when third of 14 on return at Worcester (16f) in October. Below form in testing conditions at Cheltenham since but no surprise to see him bounce back here after a break.
