Doyen Du Bar (G)
FAV
Progressive for Pauline Robson last season when a three-time 2m chase winner and he has made a positive start for his current yard, looking the likely winner for a long way before fading into third in 2m5f handicap chase at Market Rasen la…

Torneo (G)
Took well to chasing last season when a dual 2m scorer and he's continued on the up, runner-up for the third time this term when beaten just a head in 2m Windsor handicap chase last month. Up 4 lb but another bold showing is on the cards.

Hombre De Guerra (G)
[T]
Made a seamless transition to fences last season, bagging back-to-back 2m Ayr handicaps. Failed to build on an encouraging return when beating only one over C&D in December on his final run for Nick Alexander but no forlorn hope starting o…

Bythesametoken (G)
[PT]
Irish veteran who made a successful return from 13 months off at Listowel in September and advanced that form after another lay-off when third of 11 in 2m4f Haydock handicap chase two weeks ago. Can make his presence felt again eased 1 lb.

Aeros Luck (G)
[HT]
A fairly useful 2m chase winner for Gavin Cromwell last season. Easily his best effort from four runs for his current yard when second of 5 in 2m Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago. Not out of things if building on that here.

Bleu D'enfer (G)
[PT]
Signed off for Stuart Crawford with breakthrough chase win at Carlisle last spring. Has improved steadily for his current handler and posted a very good fourth of 8 (from 7 lb out of the handicap) at Musselburgh four weeks ago. Can go well…

Breizh River (G)
[PT]
Capitalised on a reduced mark when gamely resuming winning ways (first-time tongue tie) for his new stable in 9-runner handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) last month. Back up 4 lb but this C&D scorer can't be discounted.

Chapel Green (G)
[V1]
Resumed with 2m5f victory here (third course success) but has twice failed to build on it, coming in last of 5 in 2m handicap chase at Musselburgh 27 days ago. Visor replaces usual cheekpieces and he could bounce back with yard now among t…
