Kateira (M)
Useful hurdler who made the most of good opportunity (sole rival amiss) when winning a listed mares' event at Wetherby (2m, good) in November. Creditable fourth in C&D Grade 2 next time but 2 lesser runs have followed including back in han…

Rambo T (G)
Has enjoyed plenty of success in handicap hurdles around 2½m, including a career-best success in a typically competitive Silver Trophy at Chepstow in October. Respectable 15½ lengths eighth of 12 to Listentoyourheart at Windsor last time b…

Captain Teague (G)
Useful Grade 1 novice hurdle winner in 2023/24 but has stood little racing since, dropping out quickly when pulled up in 3m Windsor handicap on return 4 weeks ago. Hardly one to be confident about but the return to a shorter trip and the y…

Act Of Authority (G)
Runner-up in the Martin Pipe at last year's Cheltenham Festival. Has returned in good nick, including 5½ lengths fourth of 12 to Listentoyourheart in handicap at Windsor (2½m) on New Year's Day, shaping better than result after meeting int…

Fiercely Proud (G)
Landed a valuable 2m handicap here last Christmas but has run creditable only once in 4 outings since and remains 5 lb above that winning mark.

Jurancon (G)
[T]
Useful bumper scorer who won 3 times in his first season over hurdles but has failed to make an impact in 2 handicaps this season. A bounce back is needed.

Listentoyourheart (M)
Useful mare who bagged a first handicap success when battling well to lead again near the finish over 2½m at Windsor (good) on New Year's Day. Yet to encounter soft ground over hurdles but had bumper form in mud. Still looks fairly treated…

Hurricane Bay (G)
[V1]
Dual hurdles winner who improved over fences when bagging 2 handicaps in the first half of last year. Second in small field at Doncaster back from break/wind op in November but has capitulated tamely twice since. Remains to be seen whether…

John Barbour (G)
[T]
Progressing well, landing a second 2½m Uttoxeter success (both soft) of the campaign when seeing off 7 rivals in December. A 4 lb rise looks fair.

Range (G)
[P1]
Back to form with a bang when holding on gamely in a Sandown handicap 6 weeks ago but that was a race restricted to 8-y-os and above and there's a suspicion he might prove vulnerable for win purposes in this more competitive scenario. Wear…

No Ordinary Joe (G)
[TP1]
Useful on his day for Nicky Henderson but winless since 2022 and there have been few obvious positives to take from his 6 outings for new connections. Falling in the weights but could only consider if backed with first-time cheekpieces add…

De Temps En Temps (G)
[H]
Won 2m Uttoxeter maiden and 2½m Cheltenham novice in October but below par in handicaps twice since, weakening when unseating 2 out over 2m at Kempton 6 weeks ago. Had wind surgery since and now steps back up in trip with a hood refitted.

Lightningupourdays (G)
FAV
Won a 2m Uttoxeter handicap on soft at the end of 2024. Good third in just 2 outings since, with the form of his 19.5f Hereford reappearance boosted by the form of the pair ahead of him winning since. Still not fully exposed. One of the mo…

Fairly useful hurdler who resumed from 6 months off (had breathing op during absence) with a good second at Chepstow in October. Has also placed twice here since, including over this trip 4 weeks ago.
