Glynn Brae (G)
Showed a willing attitude to land 2½m Sandown handicap on reappearance in November but has proved disappointing both runs since, last of 4 in 2m3f Doncaster handicap 29 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

L'astroboy (G)
Landed Ffos Las bumper/maiden hurdle in 2022 before a fine runner-up in Grade 1 Tolworth at Sandown in early 2023. Only thrice raced since though and well held in 2m handicaps at Sandown and Hereford either side of Christmas. Has it to pro…

Double Oban (G)
[P]
Got back on the up with success in 15.5f handicap hurdle at Leicester in December, off the bridle considerably further out than rivals but finding plenty. Must enter calculations despite a 6 lb weights rise.

Vol Royale (G)
Point winner who is going the right way over hurdles, landing a pair of 2m novices at Hereford in December and January. Can do better still now going handicapping so he's not taken lightly.

Doctors Hill (G)
FAV
[H]
Got off the mark over C&D in November and back on the up in a refitted hood when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 38 days ago. This enthusiastic sort is a likely player despite a 2 lb weights rise.

Castelfort (G)
FAV
C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle here (19.4f, soft) 25 days ago. No forlorn hope off a 2 lb lower mark.

Ito Ditto (G)
Dual C&D winner in 2023 but he failed to take to fences last term and came in last of 9 back hurdling in 2m4f handicap at Leicester on his return in November. Has plenty to prove.

Razzle Dazzle Boy (G)
Resumed winning ways in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 32 days ago. Up 3 lb but that form has been franked so he can go well again.

02-5212 | Lorcan Williams | Tim Vaughan | 6 | 68.9 kg |

Aeroplane Blonde (G)
[T1]
Still to get his head in front but he's gone with some promise, going keenly before a fading fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 54 days ago. Tongue tied now and could still do better off a handy-looking mark.
