Eton Mes (G)
Fourth all 3 starts over hurdles, catching the eye on his qualifying run at Exeter 15 days ago. Likely he can go on to better things in handicaps.

Tarbuck (G)
Made a winning handicap debut over C&D (heavy) last February but well below that level on all 3 outings since. Needs a return to Uttoxeter to spark a revival.

Tech That (G)
Showed ability in novice hurdles but well beaten on 2m Doncaster handicap debut just after Christmas.

Thorgath (G)
Never a threat in 3 maiden/novice hurdles in recent months but no surprise were he to prove a different proposition in handicaps. Market support would look significant.

Richardson (G)
Ended losing run with consecutive wins in handicap hurdles on heavy ground last February. Likely needed last month's reappearance at Leicester and should be sharper now.

Walkinthepresent (G)
FAV
Placed in an Irish point last spring. Well beaten in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles towards the end of 2025 but it's likely he can do better in handicaps. All the more interesting if backed.

Rock On Tommy (G)
[BT]
Fourth course win when seeing off 7 rivals over this trip last spring. Hasn't shown much in 3 starts since, including back here last month, but has dipped to 2 lb below his last successful mark so a revival can't be discounted.
