Rauzan (G)
Fairly useful at his best, but well held final run for Eoin Doyle in September (subsequently sold for £11,000) and hasn't troubled the judge in a trio of runs for present connections.

Klitschko (G)
[T]
Back to winning ways at Sedgefield in March (16.8f). Below that form since, not looking the easiest of rides when third of 7 in 2m Doncaster handicap in November. Needs to step forward after a break.

Belvedere Blast (G)
Scored at Market Rasen (23f) in August but below form all 5 outings since, beating only one over C&D last time. Not easy to make a case for.

Sun Lady Marine (M)
Successful over hurdles in France in July 2024 and picked up for €25,556 after narrowly losing out in a chasing claimer at Compiegne in May. Pulled up on yard bow in 2m handicap hurdle at Haydock 22 days ago though so has it to prove now.

Singapore Trip (G)
[T]
Resumed winning ways at Wetherby on his return and has continued in good form, fourth of 14 over C&D 24 days ago. No reasn why he won't go well again.

Les's Legacy (G)
[TP]
Scored at Hexham in June but well held under a change of tactics when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 75 days ago, doing too much too soon. Possibilities.

| 1st | 7 | — |
Bathgate (G)
Course winner who posted a respectable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Back up in trip and can make his presence felt.

Inferno Sacree (G)
Winless since spring 2023, but he is knocking on the door, hassled for the lead for a long way when second of 8 at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Another prominent showing is likely.

Gardener (G)
[T1]
Disappointing 2024/25 campaign for Olly Murphy and he offered little for his new yard when 11th over C&D 24 days ago. Lots to prove with tongue tie added here.

As Fast As Wind (M)
[HT1]
Struck for the first time in this sphere at Kempton in October for Daisy Hitchins. Good start for new yard since, set too much to do at start when sixth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap 26 days ago. Considered with hood refitted and tongue tie…

Kelijoe (G)
FAV
French bumper winner who got back on the up with the tongue strap swiftly dispensed with when landing 19f handicap hurdle at Doncaster last month. Up 7 lb but not taken lightly with few miles still on the clock.

Hey Buddy (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't discredited when sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good) 57 days ago. Since had a wind op and not ruled out stepping into handicaps.

Thank You Blue (G)
Dual hurdles winner last spring and back in good form of late, ridden too aggressively when a fading fourth of 7 in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap in November. Weighted to go well after a break.

Bollin Neil (G)
[TP]
Course specialist who comes here on the back of a good third of 13 in handicap hurdle here (25.3f, good) 20 days ago. Down in trip but must enter calculations.

Jack Hoola (G)
[B]
On the up since fitted with headgear in handicaps this term, scoring at Huntingdon and Southwell. Posted a very good second of 14 at Exeter (2m2f) last month so he's a likely player once more nudged up 1 lb.

Sam's Falcon (G)
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who came in only eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) 26 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
