Achnamara (G)
[P]
Won twice at a lower level last season but has a patchy record over Flat and Jumps of late. Takes a slight ease in class back over timber but others more persuasive.

Byron Hill (G)
FAV
[BT]
A fair winning hurdler at Carlisle but ended last season out of form. Slow start to this campaign but below last winning mark and much more like it when third in a 2m contest here a month ago. One to consider back up in trip with blinkers …

Maggies Boy (G)
[PT]
Fair hurdler who posted a solid third of 10 in novice at Southwell (20.4f, good) in June. In nothing like the same form at Hexham 3 weeks later and off since.

Avalon Beach (G)
Well held in a bumper for Mark Walford but off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Sedgefield in November (16.8f). Shade too keen to last out over 19.9f back there a fortnight later but right back on his game returned to 2m when …

Devon Skies (M)
Pulled up first 3 starts in handicaps but different proposition switched to front-running tactics, completing hat-trick at Market Rasen in November. Heavy defeat from revised mark at Sedgefield on Boxing Day so bounce back called for.

Abbey Scope (G)
Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a Kelso bumper in April and, following a 7-month break, he shaped well when third of 8 in novice at Market Rasen on hurdles bow. Jumping has lacked fluency both starts since but he retains p…

Express Run (G)
[T]
Best effort in handicap hurdles in the spring when third of 6 over 3m at Kelso in May. Fitted with a tongue strap but reportedly made a noise on return in September and has had another breathing operation.

Wise Move (G)
[H]
Multiple winning pointer but just a modest maiden hurdler. Did step up on return to action when second of 10 at Wetherby on Boxing Day and he can remain competitive.
