Jig's Forge (G)
Successful Irish pointer who showed fairly useful winning form over hurdles last term. Positive start to his chase career when third in 2½m Cheltenham handicap on reappearance before going one better in match in maiden here. More needed if…

Pour Les Filles (G)
Useful in bumpers and got off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick (21.8f) in October. Well held next 2 starts but looked better than ever when making a winning debut for this yard on chase bow at Ffos Las last month. More needed again in …

U Cant Be Serious (G)
Fairly useful winning hurdler who upped his game again to win a pair of 19f Exeter handicap chases this winter. Ran poorly at Kempton since but worth another chance back on easier ground and over a trip which promises to suit.

Knight Of Allen (G)
Posted a personal best on just his second start over fences when landing 9-runner handicap here (19.8f, good to soft, 9/2) in December. Ran as well as could have been expected in useful novice at Cheltenham since and remains of strong inte…

Itseemslikeit (G)
Lightly raced over hurdles but made it 2 from 2 over fences this season at Ffos Las last month, again impressing with his jumping. More to come and should make bold bid for the hat-trick. First preference 2.32 Uttoxeter.

Silver Thorn (G)
Fairly useful winner over hurdles and left his chase debut behind when winning last 2 starts at Doncaster/Exeter. Positive tactics seem to get the best out of him.

Captain Bellamy (G)
FAV
Bumper winner. First past the post in a course novice hurdle last winter (later disqualified after rider found guilty of overusing the whip). Left chase bow behind upped in trip when just failing here (22.4f) 6 weeks ago and should reward …
