Precious Metal (G)
Listed bumper win at Cheltenham last winter and has made a promising start to his hurdle career this time round, finishing runner-up on first 2 attempts before winning 2m Lingfield maiden in December. Up in trip for handicap debut. Almost …

Bumper winner last season. Fair form when placed in 2m novice hurdles at Exeter (soft) and Chepstow (good to firm) in December. Open to improvement now handicapping. NON RUNNER.

Calme Olympien (G)
Fairly useful ex-French hurdler who got off the mark on his yard debut in 3-runner novice hurdle at Ffos Las (2½m, good) in October. Off since ahead of this switch to handicaps.

Zainy Champ (G)
[T1]
Comfortable winner of 18.5f Exeter handicap in December but has pulled up in his 3 other handicap starts so comes with risks. Fitted with a first-time tongue tie.

Hot Goddess (M)
Returned from 10 months off with a good third of 7 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (2m, good) in December. Respectable fifth on 2½m Ffos Las handicap debut since but that underlines she needs more from her mark.

Bollin Thou (G)
FAV
[P]
Continues to go the right way in handicaps for current yard, having little trouble completing the hat-trick when landing the odds at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) 12 days ago. Another 13 lb higher now but it may not stop him.
