Comfortably landed the odds in 2m4f maiden at Plumpton in December. Failed to stay longer trip on handicap bow at Ascot 3 weeks later, but back on track at Windsor last time and combination of 3 lb drop in weights and ease in class should …

Name Me Nicely (G)
Has been shaping up well with handicaps in mind, faring best of those held up when fourth of 13 at Doncaster 4 weeks ago, jumping better than previously. Opening mark demands improvement but that should be forthcoming up in trip.

Lord Of All Saints (G)
[HT]
Progressive in handicaps last season, completing a hat-trick in good style at Sandown (19.8f, soft). It's been downhill all the way since, though, and he remains 5 lb above last winning mark.

Manigod (G)
[T]
Half-brother to high-class hurdler Vauban. Fair form on Flat in France, placed 4 times. Left P. Decouz €40,000 in July and runner-up all 3 starts over hurdles so far. Can remain competitive now handicapping.

The Expensive One (G)
Half-brother to The New One and confirmed previous promise over hurdles when making all in novice handicap at Stratford (18.7f) in October. Excuses both starts since at Cheltenham and retains potential in handicaps with this step up in dis…

Spitalfield (G)
Strong-travelling sort but not the most fluent jumper. Ran up to his best when placed 3 times during the summer but well held completed starts since.

Broderick (G)
Ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (33/1) 32 days ago after an 8-month absence, typically hanging left. Needs to revive to figure.
