The Jeweller's Pet (G)
Landed back-to-back C&D wins in the mud last February, including this race. Hasn't managed to reproduce that form switched to fences this winter but could be dangerous if a return to hurdles sees him recapture his best form.

So Many Roads (G)
[T]
Snapped a 3-year losing run when edging out Velvet Vulcan over C&D (soft) last month. While he hardly has the profile of one likely to follow up that was a well-contested race and he should remain very competitive off 3 lb higher.

Big Storm Brewing (G)
Returned from 8 months off with an improved second of 9 in 19.5f Doncaster handicap in December but he failed miserably to back that up when well behind So Many Roads and Velvet Vulcan over C&D 3 weeks later. Bounce back needed.

Jakana (M)

Two-time winner for Fergal O'Brien last winter. Second on Hexham yard debut last summer but has struggled since.

Burning It Up (G)

[P]
Second on Perth handicap debut last spring. Struggled in first 4 starts this season but back to form with cheekpieces added (retained) when close second at Newcastle a fortnight ago. The winner has gone in again since and he looks well tre…

The Coffey Boy (G)
Improved at the second time of asking in handicaps when 12 lengths second of 8 at Sedgefield (17f, soft) 16 days ago. Stable also runs The Jeweller's Pet.

Ck O'mara (G)
Well beaten in 3 novice hurdles over 2m here this winter. More realistic chance now handicapping but Velvet Vulcan looks the stable first string unless the betting hints otherwise.

Velvet Vulcan (G)
[HT]
Modest 2m Flat winner who posted his best effort yet in this sphere when second of 19 to So Many Roads over C&D (soft) 39 days ago, just failing despite racing keenly and making his ground out wide.

Lewa House (G)
[P]
Chased home The Jeweller's Pet in this race last year. Also runner-up over fences at Hexham last March but has failed to recapture that form this season, finishing a long way behind a few of these over C&D last time.
