Benignitas (M)
Point winner in January 2023 and showed ability in 2 starts switched to hurdles at Chepstow last season. Shaped well when chasing home a strong stayer at Ffos Las on chase debut 12 days ago (19.4f, heavy) and makes plenty of appeal provide…

Copper Cove (G)
Made more impact than for a while off reduced mark when second at Ffos Las (15.8f) 34 days ago, no match for rejuvenated winner but pulled clear of remainder. Interesting back over fences now (didn't show much on previous 2 starts in this …

L'empire Vert (G)
[T]
Improved when beating a weak field to win a novice handicap at Ludlow in November but has been badly let down by his jumping both starts since and others make greater appeal.

Kingcormac (G)
Hard to catch right - only seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Exeter (17.5f, soft) 33 days ago - but has a good record here (2 wins and one second from 3 starts) and could well bounce back returned to this venue.

Ahanaglogh (G)

Placed both starts in points. Mid-field only start in bumpers and well held in 3 novice hurdles. Switches straight to fences for handicap debut. Any market support would be of note.

Everyonesacritic (G)
[V1]
Won this race last season before following up at Leicester later in the month. Respectable effort when third of 7 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f, soft, 7/1) 10 days ago. Remains below last winning mark and is considered with viso…

Jack Doyen (G)
[B]
C&D winner who made the frame all 4 starts last term. Fell too far out to suggest outcome on return but typically found little when well beaten at C&D 63 days ago. Others preferred.

Three Zambezi's (G)
Poor maiden hurdler but has a pointing background and certainly not over-faced for handicap/chase debut. Others still make more appeal, though.

Greenways (G)
Scored over fences for current yard at Uttoxeter in July but arrives out of sorts, failing to beat a rival over hurdles at Exeter last time. Difficult to fancy after 113-day absence.

Est Illic (G)
[B]
Temperamental veteran who is winless since 2020 and easy to oppose following 2 low-key runs at Ludlow this season.
