New Invention (G)
[P1T]
Ran with promise at Newcastle on hurdles bow in February but failed to progress in a trio of outings since, including on handicap bow at Hereford last time. Cheekpieces on first time.

You Did (G)
[P1]
Has benefited from his stamina being brought more into play, getting off the mark in handicap at Hexham (20.1f) in October and proving determined when doubling his tally at Musselburgh (23.8f) in December. Not in same form at Wetherby late…

Fox Cottage (G)
[P1]
Finished closer than on previous starts when second in 3-runner handicap at Leicester (20.5f) in December but failed to build on that at Fontwell since and others appeal more. Cheekpieces on first time.

Pearl Smoke (M)
[P1T]
Little impact in maiden/novice hurdles and similar story on switch to handicapping at Leicester last month. Now tried in cheekpieces for first time.

Jewel Eyed Judy (M)
Had shown decidedly little prior to opening her account in a weak handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f) in November and has gone the wrong way in a couple of outings since.

Call Your Bluff (G)
FAV
[T]
Bounced back to best form, under this pilot, when good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 47 days ago. 1 lb lower now and could be the way to go.

Harley's Pride (M)
Modest form in 2 bumpers last season and no show in a trio of novice hurdle outings more recently. However, sent handicapping upped in trip off a lowly mark and is worth monitoring in the market.

Kilnacarra (G)
[TV1]
Modest at form at best in Ireland in 2021 and no show in 3 comeback outings for new yard after a huge absence. Has had a breathing operation, wears first-time visor.

Fancy Nancy Pants (M)
[P]
Bred to stay well and, having slipped in the weights, showed more than previously when third in Wetherby handicap (24.1f) in December. Couldn't back that up at same course last time, however, and her overall profile is off-putting.
