Galidam (G)
[T]
Fair hurdler in France. Modest form at best for current yard, though some promise switched to fences last 2 starts, not helped by a bad error at Catterick last time. Considered.

B S Hughes | Micky Hammond | 6 | 76.2 kg |

Count Adhemar (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who showed a bit more on handicap/chase debut when fifth at Catterick last month. Can build on that with drop back in trip a positive.

Theo Gillard | D McCain Jnr | 6 | 74.4 kg |

Urblereagh (G)
[T]
Low mileage 9-y-o who didn't show much in 3 widely-spaced qualifying runs over hurdles but made more of an impact when fourth on handicap bow at Uttoxeter. Makes chase debut now.

R T Dunne | T R Gretton | 9 | 71.7 kg |

King Horse (G)
[P1]
Well held all 4 starts over hurdles, including on handicap bow at Wetherby (16f, soft) 44 days ago. Headgear applied for chasing bow (in frame once from 3 starts in Irish points).

Ryan Mania | Paul Robson | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Blue Bear (G)
Raised his game to complete a ready first success at Sedgefield 2 years ago off similar mark. Not in the same form since and back from a long absence here but could be worth chancing.

Danny McMenamin | J Parkinson & S Smith | 8 | 70.8 kg |

Chumlee (G)
Poor veteran who suffered a heavy fall at the first at Ayr 10 days ago. Others preferred.

Zara's Universe (M)
[P]
Three-time chase scorer and best effort for a while when runner-up at Southwell in December. Not disgraced from 5 lb out of the weights at Catterick last time. Only 1 lb out of handicap on this occasion.
