Inca Prince (G)
FAV
[H]
Won twice from the front here in 2022 (including over C&D) but quite lightly raced since. Not disgraced when third of 7 in handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) 21 days ago so possibilities off a slipping mark.

Mr Lincoln (G)
A fair 1m winner on Flat but yet to match that form in this sphere, only seventh of 9 on his handicap hurdling debut at Ayr (2m) 33 days ago. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark improvement.

Magic Gloves (M)
[T1]
Irish point winner who posted best effort in this sphere on her handicap debut when fourth of 10 over C&D in December. May do better still here with tongue tie added.

Scots Poet (G)
[BT]
C&D winner who got back on track after an unsuccessful stint chasing when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Must enter calculations eased 1 lb with blinkers retained.

C O'Farrell | Ewan Whillans | 10 | 70.8 kg |

| 6th | 5 | — |
Canavan (G)
Fair maiden on Flat who has shown similar form over hurdles, coming in sixth of 10 in Wetherby juvenile (2m, heavy) 24 days ago. Could build on it now going handicapping.

Gregor Walkingshaw | L Russell & M Scudamore | 4 | 69.9 kg |

Bouboule (G)
[P]
Fair maiden on Flat and over hurdles. Posted a good second on the level at Newcastle 24 days ago and reverts to this sphere on a handy-looking mark for his handicap debut. Likely player.

Sean Quinlan | G Boanas | 4 | 68.9 kg |

Anamanda (M)
[P]
A fair winner on the Flat in France but her form has gone the wrong way over hurdles this season and she is now 0-16 in this sphere.

Sattam (G)
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who resumed from 21 months off with a promising fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago, fading after mistake last. Can build on it now and not without interest in his bid for a ma…

Now Then Wendy (M)
[T]
Fair Flat winner in 2023. Yet to add to that in this sphere but back on track in a first-time tongue tie when sixth of 15 in 2m handicap at Hereford in December. One to consider after a break with headgear retained.
