Demoiselle Kap (M)
[T]
Thrived over hurdles/fences after joining this yard last year, completing the 4-timer over hurdles at Sedgefield (16.8f) in March. Posted a solid fifth of 9 after 10 months off in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 25 days ago so need…

Magnolia (M)
[T]
French import who bagged a pair of 2m handicaps at Kelso in the autumn. Not at that level off a much higher mark since though, just fifth of 9 back there (18.1f, soft) last time. More is required.

Haarar (G)

Better than ever at present and followed his Haydock success in December with an emphatic victory in 11-runner handicap at Carlisle (17f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Also took this prize 12 months ago and big shout under a 7 lb penalty.

Three Dons (G)
Eight-time winner on the Flat and has made a positive start to life over hurdles this winter, placed in a pair of 2m novices at Leicester. May do better on his handicap hurdle debut now so can't be dismissed.

Comanche Magic (G)
Fair ex-Irish hurdle who shaped well for his new handler when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f, heavy) 29 days ago, fading only late having taken a strong hold in front. Has to be taken seriously eased 2 lb here.

Gained a first success at Sedgefield in February 2024 but lightly raced and not in the same form since. Returns from 21 months off here and also 7 lb out of the handicap.
