Lazy Sunday (M)
[PT]
Veteran had a productive time of things last season, culminating with a 3m Bangor win in March. Picked up where she left off when runner-up for the fourth time in 5 starts on reappearance at Ffos Las (23.8f) in November but tailed off at W…

Clotilda (M)
[T]
Fair juvenile hurdler/chaser in France who has acquitted herself well over the larger obstacles for Paul Nicholls, including when second of 6 at Wincanton (20.2f) on Boxing Day. Fell too far out to suggest the outcome back there last month…

Baby Sage (M)
[P1]
Successful in novice handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.5f) last season but increasingly looks one to oppose having bled on chasing debut/return before producing a laboured effort back at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) in December. Cheekpieces applie…

Gazette Bourgeoise (M)
[PT]
Resumed winning ways in great style in 5-runner handicap at Fakenham in December but produced a rare poor effort at that track in a change of headgear last month. No surprise to see the cheekpieces back on.

Presenting A Queen (M)
[B]
Yet to score over fences and ran no sort of race in a first-time visor at Wincanton earlier in the month. Others more persuasive.

Fortune Dancer (M)
Hasn't looked back since being switched to the larger obstacles, completing the hat-trick in a weak event at Windsor (24.3f, good) on New Year's Day. Open to further improvement, she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record over fences.

Ede'iffs Rock (M)
FAV
[P]
Bagged third victory of last season in this corresponding race last year. Well backed returning from 9 months off but fell 5 out when still in front at Wincanton in December and underperformed at Hereford subsequently (went in snatches).

Cooleenymore (M)
[P]
Fair hurdler/chaser who took a step firmly back in the right direction when landing a 10-runner handicap chase at Fontwell last month. Ran at least as well from 6 lb higher when finding one too good at Wincanton since. Promises to go well …

Overabottleofred (M)
[T1]
Off the mark at the third attempt over fences in 23.5f Huntingdon handicap last April. Didn't jump well enough at Fakenham on return last month but entitled to be sharper here back down in class. Tongue strap on 1st time.
